Total Earth Care constructed a sloped environmentally friendly seawall for Georges River Council in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney.

We were very lucky to have worked with such an innovative & forward-thinking council like the Georges River Council who really cares about the marine ecosystems in their area!

This newly created marine habitat reintroduced saltmarsh, mangrove and intertidal rock platform habitats using sandstone terraces and concrete structures which make it a more liveable and safe marine habitat.

One of the major challenges of the projects have been tidal influence, the large quantity of existing concrete seawall that needed to be removed, crushed and temporarily stockpiled so it could be later reused for the construction of the new seawall, and the geomorphological conditions of the site.

Work has been done to minimise disturbed and vulnerable areas and the need for de-watering.

Georges River Council describes the project as “one of the best examples of foreshore eco-engineering.”
