Iron Ore – The Challenges
- Large-scale end-to-end operations with critical interdependency between sites
- Transportation and infrastructure are multi-facetted including rail and sea
- Significant volumes so any interruption can have immediate and high-value consequences
- Requirement for large Tailings Storage Facilities
- Autonomous equipment operation often with distant centralised operations
Our Work
- We work extensively across the Pilbara in Western Australia and at over 60 Iron Ore sites worldwide
- At most sites our risk assessments are of the end-to-end operation – mining, processing, tailings storage, fire protection, utilities, transportation, ports and infrastructure
- We also assess new mine construction or mine expansion, whether surface or underground
- Our reports are all-encompassing or of a specific activity to include insurance risk surveys, construction risk reviews, asset criticality and specialty assessments of high or complex risks
