This paper presents a systematic review of a large scale earthwork project and discusses concerns/examples under three dimensions. Firstly the environment aspect, factors including remediation of the various type of contaminated and general waste, management of runoff water, dust control, noise and vibration monitoring are showcased; secondly the society aspect, factors including innovated wheel wash facility, CCTV system, drainage protection, and wildlife protection are mentioned; lastly the economy aspect, factors including integrated weighbridge management system, recycling waste water, recycling rock are demonstrated.
The research identifies future opportunities such as the innovation of evaluation system, project design framework, finance analysis model, and potentially integration of sustainable construction practise into Australian code of practice.
