Our West Australian Tabba Tabba Quarry has played a starring role in the construction of a loadout laydown facility and sea wall at Lumsden Point, at Port Hedland.
The development at Lumsden Point is part of a West Australian Government budget allocation to grow capacity at the Port of Port Hedland, increasing trade and investment and creating local jobs.
Lumsden Point will facilitate the export of battery metals such as lithium and copper concentrates, the importation of renewable energy infrastructure, including wind turbines and blades, as well as support the rapid growth of direct shipping services to the Pilbara.
Jamie Bartlett, Sales and Account Manager in WA within our regional quarries team, said Tabba Tabba was awarded stages 1 and 2 of the project to supply more than 125,000 tonnes of subsea and seawall armour products ranging from 100mm core to six tonne armour.
A recent ACIL Allen report found the development of Lumsden Point would boost Western Australia’s Gross State Product by $9.5 billion and create 460 jobs per year.
Growing the capacity of Pilbara Ports has been identified by the independent Infrastructure Australia as a national infrastructure priority.
“These materials were used to construct the loadout laydown facilities and sea walls. The materials were supplied over a 12 month period while Boral’s Tabba Tabba quarry was supplying another Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) project, the new Spoilbank Marina Site.”
