The project encompasses the remediation works of 29 Crystalliser Ponds at the Dampier Salt Limited Port Hedland facility following the extreme weather event which damages the facility in early 2019.
Austral was contracted to provide pond establishment works, grading and removal of contaminated material, levee construction and ramp removal.
Site works consist of de-watering of crystalliser ponds, the removal of contaminated mud spoil washed into the crystalliser floor
Levee remediation works (inclusive of reinstating Crystalliser batters, reinstating windrows and grading of access tracks)
Repair of washouts along Haul Roads and access tracks. Each Crystalliser pond consisted of ~2400lm of batters to be repaired utilising existing salt and imported material
Salt management procedures have been implemented to ensure positive works around the salt facility including an on-site automated Wash-Bay
