The Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) Growth Programme almost tripled BHPBIO's production capacity over a 15 year period through the completion of ten major projects including MAC, PACE, the Rapid Growth Projects (RGP2, RGP3, RGP4, and RGP5), Orebody 24 (OB24), Jimblebar Project, Port Hedland Inner Harbour Project (PHIHP) and the Shiploader Replacement Project. Refer to the table below for more details on these projects.
The Fluor-led joint venture successfully executed one of the world's largest multi-billion dollar expansion programmes, with projects consistently delivered on schedule and on budget, and assisted BHP Billiton in strengthening its position as one of the world's leading iron ore producers.
