Jimblebar Expansion Project

Client: BHP Billiton
September 28, 2015
BHP’s Jimblebar iron ore mine is 40 kilometres east of Newman in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

BHP anticipates that with their plans to expand the current operation with the installation of four mobile crushers, they will increase the total Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) supply chain capacity to in excess of 220 mtpa (100 per cent basis).

Nilsen were contracted for the supply of 2 HV/LV Switchrooms complete with MCCs, PLC cubicles, communications cabinets and DB’s for a new additional crusher and overland conveyor.

A tight completion schedule will require careful management of contractors and supplier coordination.

With an average manpower of 20 specialised staff, works commenced in early 2015 and are scheduled for completion in November 2015.
