Project Summary

Summary	Pellet Plant Demolition
Client	Arrium Mining (One Steel)
Schedule	4 Months (2014)
Location	Whyalla, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
Outline	Ausdecom dismantled a series of redundant conveyors, storage bins and a decommissioned dryer at the Pellet Plant in Whyalla.
Outcome	This Project was the winning Contract at the World Demolition Awards (Contract Under $1.5 million) in Amsterdam in November 2014.

Scope of Work Completed

Over two phases, 10,000 man hours and specialist equipment, works included the controlled collapse and safe salvage of large, long and elevated plant and equipment.
All work was undertaken without shutting down the manufacturing facility as this would have led to significant financial loss to our client.
The task of dismantling and removing the redundant conveyors, bins and dryer was identified as a high risk task and Ausdecom was awarded the contract, due to having a proven track record of safely executing such tasks.

they demonstrated what can only be described as their inherent and absolute

commitment to safety in every aspect of their work.”
