Project Details
Client: Batchfire Resources
Location: Mount Murchison 4715
The Challenge
- Client was in development phase of capital works delivery procedures.
- The project was surrounded by live operations with mining proceeding. Production could not be interrupted.
- The main 66kV power supply to the operations draglines passed through the area off the new mining operation.
The Outcome
- Project was completed on time and under budget, without interruption to mining operations.
- No safety incidents or environmental breaches.
- Client described the project as “unremarkable” and “off the radar” which are the most sincere forms of praise in project development. Projects only attract attention when they are failures. Project successes are generally entirely anonymous.
