Crossmuller Construction of New Drill Mud Facility in NSW
Project Completion Date: 2022
Project Highlights
- reDirect Recycling commissioned Crossmuller to build the wash plant facility.
- Crossmuller purpose-built the huge 7,970m² facility in 18 months.
- reDirect Recycling estimate approximately 350,000 tonnes will pass through annually.
Overview
Division: Construction
Location: Wetherill Park
Industry: Recycling
The Crossmuller team were in charge of the installation of many aspects, including commissioning of the factory, offices and automation system, to name a few. Works included new consumers mains, MSB and DB installations, MCC installation for conveyor and machine control, factory/office power and lighting, emergency lighting, fire monitoring system, network and security infrastructure along with multideck weighbridge installation.
This facility is designed to turn drill mud and a number of other wastes such as stormwater and soils into highly-valued recycled aggregates suitable for reuse back in the construction industry.

The Project
Tasked from consultation with international machine supplier CDE Group for site requirements and specification, all Crossmuller’s services and capabilities were brought on for the build. This included civil works and the design of machinery, construction of the site and shed, mechanical and hydraulic fit out of equipment, fabrication and supply of equipment not supplied from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the electrical fit out of both machinery and facility.
By the time Crossmuller completed the build, it was largest drill mud resource recovery plant in NSW with expectations that 350,000 tonnes will pass through the site annually. This will return treated mud fines and aggregates that can be used as engineered fill, sand, specialist soil and compost products which are on-sold for use in the building, landscaping, and agricultural industries contributing to the circular economy that reDirect Recycling has built the business model on.
