OUR CAPABILITIES
We provide an environmental response to the Coal Seam Gas (CSG) Industry’s problem of managing large volumes of marginal quality water created as a by-product of CSG production.
Our Irrigated Forest Plantation and Cropping Program complies with the Queensland Environmental Protection Agency’s strict operational policy for beneficial use of CSG water. We offer an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional water management practices at a substantially reduced cost, relative to the other options.
The Irrigated Forest Plantation and Cropping Program comprises:
- Detailed feasibility study.
- Planning and environmental approval.
- Site preparation and plantation establishment.
- Irrigation design and system construction.
- System operation and maintenance.
- Detailed monitoring and continual improvement.
Each component is tailored to meet site-specific factors, water quality conditions and client gas production needs to create an integrated, whole-of-life forestry and agricultural based water management system. A full function project delivery service integrates all aspects of project execution. The alliance quality systems and corporate governance comply with CSG industry standards.
Integrated, Turnkey Water Management
Irrigated Forest Plantation and Cropping Capabilities
- Scalable with the capacity to use large and variable volumes of water.
- Can be safely established close to gas fields to reduce infrastructure costs.
- Environmentally sustainable; most CSG water is taken up by plantation trees and re-evaporated into the atmosphere.
- Highly cost effective relative to other water management options.
- Adaptive irrigation management balances environmental considerations such as plant health and soil integrity against variable CSG water flows and changing weather.
- Creates a carbon sink to reduce emission intensity.
- Restores cleared land to forest cover, enhances biodiversity and expands wildlife corridors.
- Provides commercial timber crops.
