Oz Minerals

This full turn-key project was undertaken for Oz Minerals and met with conditions applied by the Darwin Port Authority and Freightlink to connect to the existing ship loader. The 30,000-tonne copper concentrate storage facility is stocked by an internal railway line and then loaded to ship, with tight product security required throughout the freight process. A fully laiden train is shunted into the storage shed and unloaded in a carefully designed dust proof environment. Environmental considerations are key to the design and include spill collection and product management via a series of containment drains, collector pits and dust filters. This was Oz Minerals' first NT Rail/Store/Ship venture and required close consultation with Ahrens, to ensure the facility met with EPA and freight regulations. The two companies were able to work together successfully to deliver a seamless project and a first-class facility that met all the client's logistic and storage requirements.
