Dial a Dump Industries (DADI) purchased the former Fitzpatrick hard rock quarry at Eastern Creek in 2006 and has developed a state of the art construction, demolition and commercial waste recycling and recovery centre and landfill known as Genesis. The quarry was based in a diatreme, a vocanic breccia containing basalt, sandstone and shale. The shale weathers to a clay whilst the sandstone and basalt stand out as hard rock creating unstable slopes. GFWAust were appointed to determine a method to stabilise the slopes and create a safe environment for the ongoing function of the landfill. The company carried out precision blastingand scaling to remove unstable rocky outcrops using handheld rockdrills from rope access
