With a new mine (Gudai-Darri) under construction and with the nearest airport 2.5hrs away, the need to establish on operational airport terminal to service the project was of high importance.
The project involved the construction of a modularised Primary Crushing Plant (PCP) 8.4km, Overland Conveyor (OLC) and transfer station, tying in the new crushing and conveying system to the existing coarse ore stockpile feed conveyor.
Primero was awarded the Turnkey design, procure, construct and commission of the Non-Process Infrastructure (NPI) supporting the operations of this greenfield developed mine.
Primero was engaged by Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) to implement a process plant upgrade at its Christmas Creek mine, located in Western Australia’s Pilbara, after having successfully completed an ECI phase.
