Multiuser iron-ore export facility, Australia
Name and Location
Multiuser iron-ore export facility, Pilbara, Australia.
Client
Iron Ore Holdings (IOH).
Project Description
The project involves an innovative method to transfer iron-ore from shore to ship, removing the need for dredging and the construction of breakwaters and, therefore, limiting the impact on the marine environment.
IOH proposes to develop the first stage of the multiuser iron-ore export facility on the eastern side of Cape Preston, about 60 km south-west of Dampier, in the Pilabara region of Australia.
The project will involve the construction of a 200 m rock-supporting structure that extends offshore, a 1.5 km trestle jetty, six deep-water transhipment anchorage points, a materials stockyard, a 2 Gℓ/y permanent desalination plant, an access road corridor from the North
Coast highway, office buildings, communications infrastructure, power supply, a fuel farm, waste management facilities, road train and vehicle maintenance workshop/wash facilities and an accommodation camp.
