Werribee Train Station Hazardous Material Removal

Project Overview

In February 2019, AAH was awarded works at Werribee Train Station to remove mould and lead paint from the internals of the station.

Scope of Works

• Remove mould and lead paint from affected surfaces in the cleaners room, plant room and staff room
• Works to be completed during normal work hours

Critical Factors/Challenges

The challenges and critical factors to successfully complete the works were.

• Werribee Station is a busy location and a central hub for many lines with a large number of members of the general public commuting around the works areas
• All personnel had to be RIW accredited
• Waste had to be removed via a publicly shared pathway
• Works had to be completed with minimal disruption to usual station operations

Outcomes

• Works were successfully completed with minimal disruption to station operations
• Temporary fencing was set up on the station concourse around the works area to ensure the public were kept at a safe distance
• Areas were fully cleaned/decontaminated which allowed underlying water leaks issues to also be fixed
• Completed on time and within budget with no incidents
