CREATING GREENER FUTURES IN ADELAIDE WITH INNOVATIVE LANDSCAPING SOLUTIONS

Delivering successful landscapes for major infrastructure projects across Adelaide is all about innovation.

Diverse landscaping projects require innovative methods in response to site constraints, weather conditions, project program changes and available resources. The ecoDynamics team in South Australia prides itself on delivering quality landscapes through its commitment to working smarter and applying innovative solutions to materials, treatments and project delivery. Landscaping occurs at the end of a project and often deals with constraints. Overcoming them means applying innovative and novel equipment. When we worked on the Adelaide Desalination project, we faced steep batters that conventional plant and equipment couldn’t operate on. Our equipment solution was delivering our Blower trucks from Victoria to install the mulch.

Similarly, we brought our Slinger trucks in onto the Northern Connector Project to install mulch and stone products onto steep batters in the project’s closing stages. Slingers use a fast-moving conveyor that slings (or throws) mulch, soil or stone from up to 10m away from the truck placing over 100t of material a day. That allowed both landscape projects to move finish on time. Our approach is part of the routine operations that supports on time project completion. A conventional approach to landscaping is installing topsoil which is then seeded with grass or planted with seedlings. Leaning on our market product knowledge, we can offer alternatives using hydraulically applied products. Hydraulically applied products are a mixture of organic mulch, glues, fertiliser, and seed mixed into a slurry and applied via a hose or monitor. Hydraulic application means mixtures can be applied to steep slopes and across large areas from a distance without the need for workers or smaller equipment traversing the slopes. We offer a range of competitive solutions to traditional approaches where topsoil, mulch, jute and tube stock would be used for a fraction of the cost. After completing the large hydroseeding areas of salt bush on the Port Wakefield Highway project, the landscape has flourished in one of the harshest environments in the state. Our approach provides enormous opportunities to improve project delivery outcomes and generate client savings. Along with our extensive project knowledge and landscaping experience, our South Australian reputation is built on our team’s willingness to review designs and develop alternatives that successfully deliver landscape results. Over our 10+ year involvement with major projects in South Australia, we have seen delivery standards and landscape outcomes improve from adopting learnings from across the country and applying them locally. ecoDynamics is regularly engaged by construction teams to review designs and offer delivery advice that will enhance landscape works through design alternatives. Our commitment to creating greener futures across Adelaide is sparked by our innovative landscaping methods that demonstrate our ability to overcome project constraints and deliver quality landscaping solutions for our clients and the wider community.
