Site Locations
Brompton Gasworks Site
The former Brompton Gasworks site was a catalyst for the growth of Adelaide, supplying town gas for industrial and domestic uses from 1863 until the early 1960s. The gasworks represents an integral part of the Adelaide’s industrial history and character and is the only surviving former 19th and early 20th century gasworks in South Australia.
Contamination at the gasworks is broadly divided into: free tar and tar impacted soils located within and adjacent to former gasholders, tar wells, tar tanks, retort houses, gas pipes; general gasworks solid waste (coke, ash, clinker, spent oxides) which was used to raise the site and fill adjacent former clay pits on and surrounding the site (some of which are up 12 m deep); soil vapour contamination which is generally associated with shallow tar-impacted soils; and groundwater contamination associated with free phase and residual NAPL and surrounding dissolved contamination.
Dissolved groundwater contamination is present beyond the boundaries of the site, is associated with the site and off-site sources. Groundwater contamination is present in three aquifers present at depths ranging from approximately 12 – 40 m below ground level.
Tour
The site will be led by MAB and Senversa and include viewing of the remaining horizontal retorts, chimney and an interactive experience allowing participants to view the historical structures and prior remedial activities through an app.
