Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) Growth Programme
Fluor, as part of a joint venture with SKM, provided engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services and programme managed a series of multi-billion dollar projects for BHP Billiton Iron Ore (BHPBIO) in Western Australia since 2001. The joint venture was initially named the Mine and Port Development Joint Venture (MPDJV), and later renamed in 2008 to Fluor and SKM Iron Ore Joint Venture (FAST). The Fluor-led joint venture was engaged by BHPBIO to assist in the execution of its iron ore expansion projects to increase mining, processing, rail transportation, stockpiling and ship loading capabilities across BHP Billiton's Pilbara iron ore assets. The joint venture was also responsible for conducting feasibility studies for BHPBIO's proposed future growth plans.
The MPDJV / FAST health, safety and environmental philosophy were based upon BHPBIO's goal of Zero Harm to people, the environment and community. Through various programs individuals were empowered to take a more active and positive role in ensuring their own safety as well as the safety of others.
The Programme received numerous awards, including:
- Fluor Hugh Coble Project Excellence Award 2004
- Institute of Engineers Australia National Award 2004 (Rail Project)
- Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA) Biennial Industry Award 2004
- WA Engineering Excellence Awards 2004 (Rail and Mine/Port Projects)
