BHP tasks Worley for study, EPCM work at copper projects in South Australia
Diversified miner BHP has tasked professional services and engineering company Worley to provide study, engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for expansion projects at the Olympic Dam and Carrapateena copper projects, in South Australia.
The projects form part of BHP’s growth plans to increase production as demand continues to grow, driven by electrification and the energy transition.
While the projects remain subject to final investment decisions, Worley will deliver study and EPCM services concurrently across multiple project phases for potential block cave development and associated infrastructure at Olympic Dam, and the potential expansion of Carrapateena’s underground operations and processing infrastructure.
Initial EPCM services have started for early-phase activities.
Worley will provide full delivery and technical expertise through its team in Australia, supported by industry-leading specialist engineering service providers and Worley’s global integrated delivery team, as well as support from China and Chile.
“This contract reflects Worley’s continued focus on energy transition materials, such as copper, as a priority growth market. We are pleased to provide ongoing support for BHP’s ambition to grow its copper production in South Australia.
"Our team brings experience in underground mining, processing and major project delivery, and we look forward to working with BHP and the local businesses in South Australia to progress these mega projects," says Worley CEO Chris Ashton.
