Yes it was reported as 920 sq metres x 8 metres deep which is 7360 cubic metres in volume. A cubic metre is usually about a tonne so nearly 8000 tonnes so that was where the figure came from as an early estimate, which also coincided with the amount that had to be moved first so it has been confusing. If they are doing about 250 tons a week that would take 30 weeks not 10 weeks so the figures provided have been difficuly to fathom.I think you got that figure as it was reported that 8000 tons had to be moved to make the area safe to work in. The amount of waste they need to sift through has only ever been reported by depth and size of the area rather than it's weight.
