Making our mark at Eliwana

Our team has certainly made its mark on the Eliwana iron ore mine and rail project, 90km west of Tom Price in the Pilbara.

It all began in 2019 with civil bulk earthworks then moved on to full mining project activity, including load and haul, drill and blast, and mobile maintenance.

With our project completed earlier this month, the team left Eliwana well placed to become the first of Fortescue’s mines to fully transition away from fossil fuels.

And we took with us strong capability growth and learnings, delivering multiple scopes simultaneously, while navigating MACA’s acquisition of Downer and striving always to stay true to our values.

Accountability was a particular focus with the team committed to delivering on its promises.

For example, back in 2020, we bought from Fortescue a fleet of old trucks, some of which had not been in operation for some time.

Our team transferred the trucks from the Christmas Creek mine to Eliwana, several hundred kilometres away, and had them site-ready, on time and able to deliver results that exceeded expectations.    

Dayle Wallis, Area Maintenance Manager, says this was just one of many metrics met across the project’s life span with a standout coming from the maintenance team achieving outstanding equipment availability.

Another highlight was a 600+-day stretch injury free.

“Eliwana was a long-term contract that grew in size as the project developed,” Dayle said.

“It has added another Pilbara iron ore operation to the Fortescue portfolio and boosted the Western Australian economy. The project created around 2000 jobs during construction and around 500 full time site positions.”

 

Our team is proud to have been a part of it.
