For further details please visit our website: www.landloch.com.au

25.01.2022 Ever wondered what sort of erosion and sediment control (ESC)products are out there? Did you know that each product can have a number of different applications in multiple industries? Testing ESC products can save you time and $$$$$$$! I hear you asking...But who can I talk to about testing my product and how can I use it to maximise its ESC potential? Well, its a very good question! Check out Landloch's website www.landloch.com.au to find out more about our product testing capabilities.

22.01.2022 What a crazy last 24 hours it has been on the New South Wales Coast! Our Newcastle office is experiencing some communication issues today as a result of the extreme weather. This has also affected email communication in all Landloch offices. Best contact is by phone: Toowoomba: (07) 46 131825, Newcastle: (02) 49 657717, Perth: (08) 94 942835. Out thoughts go out to our colleagues and the people of the affected areas.

22.01.2022 One of Landloch's Principal Environmental Consultants, Michael Frankcombe doing a fantastic job at the 2014 Australian Pipeline Industry Association Convention and Exhibition in Melbourne this month. Mike is based in our Newcastle office and has substantial experience in erosion and sediment control in the mining and construction industries. Mike's presentation was about the challenges of erosion and sediment control in the Coal Seam Gas industry. Mike and the Landloch team have worked on many pipeline projects in Queensland and New South Wales. If you would like to know more about Mike's presentation or the work we do in erosion and sediment control, come visit us at www.landloch.com.au

22.01.2022 Its Landform Design week this week at Landloch. The Perth lab is flat chat measuring rill and interrill erosion, particle density, hydraulic conductivity, rock density and water absorption and fertility of mine wastes from Western Australia's Pilbara region. These are just a few of the tests we run to create a landform design. Having this data will ensure you are making the best possible decision for your rehab concerning the long term stability of your landforms. This is an image of a flume packed with a mix of topsoil and waste rock. Flumes are run to measure rill erosion. Check out our website for info on Landform design and the work that goes on behind the scenes. www.landloch.com.au

16.01.2022 Tomorrow Landloch will farewell our trusty Environmental Technician and friend from the Perth office, Peter Berghofer. As you can see from the picture - Pete loves working outdoors and in particular loves installing erosion plots in WA during dust storms! Bye Pete - it's been a pleasure and everyone at Landloch wishes you all the best in your new role!

10.01.2022 BOOOO! Happy Halloween folks (maybe not, depending on how you feel about it). Zombies and pretty boy vampires are scary but as a mine site enviro - this picture could be down right terrifying! Friends, this is tunnell erosion caused by soil sodicity. This material has high sodium concentration and clay content coupled with low salinity. Salt is good for warding off the supernatural baddies but not in your soil. Sodic soils have clay particles that breakdown and disperse ...when exposed to water. The particles disperse which looks like a ghostly fog moving through the water. Unstable clay particles creates tunnelling and a hardsetting surface making it difficult to grow anything. The good news is that this can be avoided with material characterisation. By testing the soils you have before creating these waste dumps, sodicity can be identified and appropriate action taken! For more info, you know the drill: www.landloch.com.au

03.01.2022 MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA! Not only was she one of the more irritating members of the Brady family, she also dumped a hell of a lot of rain in central and southern Queensland last week. With all of this rain your inner soil scientist must be wondering how overland surface flows cause so much slope instability on constructed landforms and how effective are berms at managing this instability? Eroded soil can be transported by runoff when the rainfall rate exceeds the soil's infil...tration rate. When the runoff moves into concentrated flow lines, you have got problems! Rills quickly form in uneven and unconsolidated areas of the surface which evolve into deep gullies that scar the slope. Landform designs commonly incorporate berms to segregate long slopes into shorter ones to limit the accumulation of flow. A great concept for the short term HOWEVER, berms can become a liability in the long term. Just a few ways in which this happens: 1. Reduced storage capacity and eventual overflow of berms, 2. Must be constructed with precision and have sufficient capacity otherwise they will discharge water in a concentrated form, 3. Using dispersive materials to create berms will drive the formation of tunnels through the berm and create rills and gullies further down slope. Landloch has offices in Toowoomba, Newcastle and Perth filled with soil scientists that would love to chew your ear off about this topic and many more! Contact info and further information about landform design is available on our website: www.landloch.com.au Marcia, you were just as unpleasant as a cyclone as you were a character on the Brady Bunch! Our thoughts are with those who have the mammoth task of mopping up and rebuilding after your unwelcome visit!
