Dampier Port Upgrade - Phase A
Hamersley Iron awarded McConnell Dowell Constructors (Aust) Pty Ltd, in joint venture, the contract to construct The Dampier Port Upgrade (DPU) project in Dampier, Western Australia.
Delivered in stages, MacDow was responsible for the construction of Phase A. This involved the construction of a 455 m wharf extension and a new access jetty, tail end structure and electrical deck. Modifications to the existing wharf were also required.
The upgrade of their Dampier Port Facilities was the centrepiece of Hamersley Iron's A$1 billion capital works program for their iron ore assets in Western Australia. The main wharf extension required 24 vertical and 72 raking piles which were 1,200 mm in diameter and up to 38 m long. The wharf piles were driven through a purpose built frame and gates; and were supported on spud piles for stability and accuracy of driving. A fleet of barges equipped with specialist piling equipment was mobilised from our Batam Fabrication Facility in Indonesia.
A key part of the MacDow solution was the use of modularisation to speed up the construction program. Four deck modules each 54 m long and 18 m wide were cast in Perth and freighted to the site by a heavy-lift ship mobilised from Amsterdam. Each module weighed almost 400 tonnes and was lifted into place, instantly adding 216 metres of new deck to the wharf.
Eighteen new dolphins were also constructed using a cluster of four raker piles in the centre under the wharf and 2 longitudinal raker piles. These piles ranged in size from 700 mm to 1200 mm in diameter.
Drawing on our mechanical and electrical expertise, the project team delivered new materials handling infrastructure including a conveyor system; transfer tower; and drive and take up structures. An extension and modifications were also made to the existing conveyor system.
Working within the confines of an existing operational wharf required close collaboration and constant communication between the MacDow project team and Hamersley's operations staff. The facility remained fully operational throughout the expansion. Delivered on time and on budget, our performance on the project led to the negotiation and awarding of Phase 2 of the expansion works as the sole contractor.

Destination WA - Dampier Archipelago
Spending time in the North West makes you realize how old WA is… The landscape is ancient and while the traditional owners have been here for thousands of years, European settlement has been relatively recent with some of the earliest contact happening right here off the coast of Dampier.

SALVAGE DOWN UNDER
On 25 August 2002, the 309 meter bulk carrier HANJIN DAMPIER, loaded with 220,000 tons of iron ore, suffered engine failure and ran onto an underwater outcrop just outside the port of Dampier in Western Australia. SVITZER Salvage Singapore and SVITZER Salvage IJmuiden had man and hardware capacity close by and received recovery instructions from the owners. The plan was to unload sufficient cargo to lighten the vessel and with the help of the tide, tugs and talent, to ease the vessel off the rocks without expensive damage to her hull. Unloading gear was hired locally and 5,500 tons of iron ore removed. In a complex environment of tidal currents and with the help of four Riverwijs harbour tugs and one chartered sea going tug, the team succeeded in re-floating the vessel on 8 September. Hull damage: paintwork only.
