Rum Jungle Mine Remediation
SciDev has been awarded the design and construction of the Groundwater Treatment Plant Package by McMahon Services Australia (NT) Pty Ltd (McMahon Services), for the Department of Mining and Energy’s Rum Jungle Rehabilitation Project, located just south of Darwin in Batchelor.
The contract, valued at approximately $19.5 million, covers the design and construction of a 30-litre-per-second multi-stage groundwater treatment plant to treat contaminated groundwater from legacy uranium mining at the former Rum Jungle Mine. As one of Australia’s most significant environmental remediation undertakings, the project will rehabilitate the former Rum Jungle Uranium Mines – paving the way for the land’s return to its Traditional Owners, the Kungarakan and Warai peoples.
The rehabilitation work will treat mine pit water and groundwater, building on past efforts and applying industry-leading methods to:
- halt acid metalliferous drainage
- isolate radiological hazards
- reconstruct stable, enduring landforms.
