Located in Banjima country in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, South Flank is one of the world’s largest iron ore operations, integrating the latest advances in autonomous-ready fleets, digital connectivity and modular design.

Worley is presently providing construction and commission support as the mine prepares for approximately 25 years of production, ramping up to 145 million tonnes of iron ore each year.

The involvement commenced in November 2014 with the award of the pre-identification phase study scope and continued through all subsequent selection and definition phases.

In mid-2018 Worley commenced the detailed engineering for two primary crushers, long overland conveyors, an ore processing facility, stockyard and out loading facilities – together helping build one of the world’s largest iron ore hubs.

 Worley also provided engineering solutions for one of the highest capacity train load out systems in the iron ore industry at 20,000 tonnes an hour. A big design challenge, and a significant feature of the project.
