Edgewater on the Maribyrnong
The Edgewater estate development showcases the CDL capacity to come up with innovative and economical solutions to a range of different engineering issues. This project involved the excavation of a large lake adjacent the Maribyrnong River as part of a residential development on a former flood plain.

Much of the excavation was in Coode Island Silt, an acid sulphate soil with potential environmental and geotechnical shortcomings. CDL identified and developed a treatment for the material, which neutralized and enhanced the engineering properties of the soil, enabling it to be used successfully as fill on site. As a result, CDL was able provide a solution offering significant savings to the project, and minimising the removal of large quantities of soil to landfill and minimising the replacement by imported fill.
