Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) has awarded BAM Clough a design and construction contract for a fifth iron ore loading berth in Port Hedland, Western Australia.
The work will involve the construction of a 306 m long wharf extension at the Anderson Point Facility (AP5).
The project will also involve the design and construction of seven berthing dolphins, plus the supply and installation of wharf conveyor modules.
Project engineering has begun with procurement and planning work scheduled to start this month.
Construction is to commence in May 2014, with the project estimated completion date of May 2015.
BAM Clough is a 50/50 joint venture between BAM International and Clough Ltd.
The collective was formed in 1964 and will celebrate its 50th year in 2014.
BAM Clough has almost finished successfully developing 15 major jetty and near shore marine projects, including ExxonMobil’s PNG Jetty.
Current projects include Chevron’s Wheatstone’s LNG Offloading Jetty, and INPEX’s Icthys Jetty and MOF projects.
