How many trucks will be required to transport the soil to and from the centre?
The centre aims to initially treat 30,000T/year of contaminated soil in the first year and anticipates reaching maximum capacity of 100,000T/year of contaminated soil by the third year of operation. This equates to on average 20 trucks transporting soil per week to the centre and 20 trucks removing treated soil from the centre per week in the first year of operation. This will represent an increase in heavy vehicle patronage on Kororoit Creek Road of 0.23%. In full production 65 trucks to and from the centre per week will be required for transportation of soil representing an increase of 0.75% in relation to existing heavy vehicle conditions. A truck calculator is available below to determine impact on Kororoit Creek Road for a range of soil transport/treatment quantities.
