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.
This work involved the urgent replacement of a heavily corroded footbridge at the Hay Point Coal Terminal. The new bridge had been fabricated, but was yet to be installed, and the existing structure was quickly deteriorating after the impact of Cyclone Ului. With high structural corrosion throughout the chords and stringers, the old bridge was not capable of withstanding a significant wind or wave event.
Formerly owned by Wesfarmers Resources, the Curragh Coal Mine (now operated by Coronado Curragh Pty Ltd) is located in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, 30km north of Blackwater. The main product from the mine is metallurgical (coking) coal for export.
Hay Point Coal Terminal is one of the largest coal export ports in the world. Walz Group had previously worked directly for the owner-operator, BMA, to urgently replace a footbridge . We were subsequently engaged to support BMA to deliver the third major expansion of the facility.
Sedgman was engaged to design and construct a sands beneficiation plant, port stockpile expansion, and other associated infrastructure at BHP Billiton’s GEMCO facility. The plant aimed to increase the capacity of the existing concentrator plant by reprocessing ore from tailings stockpiles.
We were proud to support our client, Bechtel, to deliver one of six LNG trains on Curtis Island as part of the largest concentration of private capital investment in Australian history. This historical program of work resulted in three plants that yield roughly 8% of the world’s total LNG production.
Sinosteel engaged Walz Group to carry out the structural, mechanical and piping works for the greenfield installation of a new 3Mtpa copper processing plant at their Rocklands mine, approximately 17km west of Cloncurry, in northwest Queensland.
