The greenfields construction scope included a new primary crushing facility, Run of Mine (ROM) pad, and a 17-kilometre overland conveying system. The new conveyor system incorporated multiple conveyor flights, transfer stations and creek crossings to link the new primary crusher to the existing Paraburdoo Coarse Ore Stockpile (COS) processing plant.
The brownfields scope included tie-in to the COS, extensive modifications to the COS, and a downstream conveying system.
Fabrication and modularisation activities were undertaken from both our west and east coast facilities, before transportation of modules to site, and installation.
At the project’s completion, Civmec had supplied and installed 17 kilometres of overland conveyor and more than 6,000 tonnes of fabricated steel, 14,000 cubic metres of concrete, and 160 kilometres of electrical cable.
