O2Marine was engaged to undertake all marine studies to inform environmental impact assessment and engineering design for a solar salt project on Eramurra Station in the Pilbara WA. Studies included benthic habitat surveys, sediment sampling, bathymetry surveys, water quality baseline, metocean baseline, mangrove health surveys, marine fauna investigations, underwater noise modelling, dredge plume modelling, coastal processes modelling, bitterns outfall modelling and management plans. Outcome O2Marine has been involved by Leichardt since the earliest investigations and has been instrumental in the site selection and modifying key project infrastructure to minimise environmental impacts and maximise production efficiency. Our team’s ability to couple complex technical scopes together has also resulted in significant cost savings for Leichardt. The proposal is currently under assessment by the EPA. https://www.epa.wa.gov.au/proposals/eramurra-industrial-salt-project |
