Comprehensive Industrial Services
Walz Group delivers complex industrial projects safely, on time and within budget — from QCLNG Curtis Island and QER’s Gladstone facility to the Lihir Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea. Our experience spans major installations, shutdowns and long-term maintenance across mining, LNG, port and utilities infrastructure, executed with technical precision and a strong commitment to safety.
We performed the onshore works for the outloading conveyor system in the second phase of the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal 7X project. This expansion saw the terminal increase its capacity by around 50% to 85+Mtpa, making it the third largest terminal in the world.
We worked with John Holland Group to deliver the X50 Expansion at Abbot Point Coal Terminal. This work increased the North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation’s annual export capacity to 50 megatonnes. The facility services the export requirements of a number of mine operators, including Newlands, Collinsville, and Sonoma mines.
Vale’s Carborough Downs underground mine is located in Central Queensland’s Bowen Basin, 180 kilometres southwest of Mackay. Walz Group was engaged to perform the structural, mechanical, piping, and electrical installation of the 5km overland conveyor and upgrade of the coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP). This formed part of a broader brownfields expansion.
Forming part of the six LNG trains on Curtis Island, the Australia Pacific LNG plant is Australia’s largest producer of coal seam gas (CSG). It not only supplies Queensland’s domestic gas market, but also processes CSG into liquefied natural gas to meet the demand of customers around Australia and globally. The development of the plant took some five years, shipping its first cargo in 2016.
As BMA’s Broadmeadow longwall mine operations advanced, a need was identified to install new conveyer infrastructure to replace shuttle cars and diesel ram cars to transport coal from the face. Walz Group was engaged by BMA to complete the structural, mechanical and pipework installation of two new conveyers — Maingate 10 (MG10) and Maingate 11 (MG11).
Rio Tinto’s Alcan Gove operations are located on the Gove Peninsular in northeast Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Our client identified that the plant was experiencing product loss and dust emissions at a juncture of two conveyors transporting ore to the harbour. The dust emission issues were due to inefficiencies within the transfer station. Walz Group was engaged to upgrade the export conveyor system and transfer station to achieve a targeted reduction in visible dust generation of 85%.
