SITE EXPERIENCE

Concept

The demolished washburn wire, old rod mill has left the site as a complex brownfield. The contamination on the site are lead and metal. There are several types of landfills on the site, which are soil fill, calcine waste, copper slag area, and air quenched slag area. The industry contamination could be seen from the surface of the ground and the debris on the ground.

There is also a rail road track on the site. Beside the rail road and on the site, there are many vegetation which are very tolerant to saline-alkali soil, such as sumac. They show the impact of industrial history on the ecosystem.
