01 / Challenge
Southern Scape Retaining Walls and Excavations regularly handles large volumes of excavated soil, much of it contaminated with roots and debris. With limited disposal options in Adelaide, the business faced high tipping and transport costs for removing mixed material.
Although most of the soil was suitable for reuse, contamination meant it had to be treated as waste - leading to unnecessary disposal costs, increased truck movements and lost reusable material.
02 / Solution
To address the issue, Southern Scape Retaining Walls and Excavations introduced a Flip Screen E50 into both on-site operations and their central compound. The unit allows them to separate roots, debris and contaminants from the excavated soil quickly and efficiently. By screening the material before disposal, they retain the clean soil for reuse on future projects and dispose only of the small volume of waste material.
03 / Result
By screening soil with the Flip Screen E50, Southern Scape Retaining Walls and Excavations now retains the clean soil for reuse and disposes only of the roots, debris and other contaminants. This shift has significantly reduced disposal volumes and lowered tipping expenses. As a result, the business is saving an estimated $50,000–$80,000 per year, meaning the Flip Screen is expected to pay for itself within the first year. The operation is now more efficient, more cost-effective and more sustainable.
