Threatened by playground construction works, which identified asbestos contamination.
Required to fill entire site by 500mm to encapsulate asbestos affected soil.
Management decided to save trees rather than remove/replace.
Sandstone block lined beds, with matrix of aeration tubes covered with 500mm of 90-200mm sandstone. Surrounding areas filled with compacted soil to 500mm. Geofabric layer over native soil to encapsulate asbestos contamination, followed by aeration pipe matrix, covered with geofabric layer, covered with 500mm depth of sandstone rock.
