ex-hmas sydney
The Department of Defence awarded Birdon the contract to disassemble and recycle Ex-HMAS Sydney. The project included the removal of dangerous goods and waste materials, removal of valuable materials for recycling and the final dismantling and secure destruction.
The project required careful planning with consideration for ITAR regulations as well as relevant state, federal and international regulations. Undertaken in Henderson, Western Australia, this project allowed for the employment of 20 local employees and additional subcontractors for different aspects of the job.
Key phases in the project included:
- Receipt of Ex-HMAS Sydney at the Common User facility in Western Australia
- Preparation for dismantling and destruction
- Dangerous goods and waste material removed
- Valuable metal removals
- Final dismantling and destruction
- Finalisation of all documentation and reporting
This project was completed on budget and within the specified timeframe.
In completing all disposal work, Birdon strives to exceed client expectations, and to guarantee the complete destruction of items. This is achieved through the implementation of Birdon’s unique end-of-life recycling processes.
