The initiative involved dismantling a range of facilities and structures previously used in diamond production, including the processing plant, primary and secondary crushers, PK tower and tubes, construction camps, maintenance shops, pit perimeter power lines, and additional auxiliary buildings. In addition to the demolition work, all generated scrap material was efficiently processed, sorted, and organized for shipment. The overall objective was to rehabilitate the site, ensuring that it becomes a safe environment for both people and wildlife. PDI carried out the project in compliance with rigorous environmental standards and managed to complete the work safely, on schedule, and within the budget allocated.
