Project Overview:
The Chemical Grade Plant 2 (CGP2) expansion at Greenbushes aimed to significantly increase the production of lithium oxide concentrates, addressing the rising global demand for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and consumer electronics. Altrad (formerly AGC) was awarded the SMP contract, playing a vital role in constructing the infrastructure needed for this strategic project.
Scope:
- Installation of over 2,000 tonnes of structural steel, including flooring and cladding systems.
- Installation of approximately 70 tonnes of platework.
- Placement and integration of around 450 pieces of mechanical equipment.
- Coordination of electrical and instrumentation integration through Southern Cross Electrical Engineering (SCEE).
- Collaboration with multiple project stakeholders to ensure seamless execution and alignment with the project’s objectives.
Manning:
- Peak onsite workforce of 140 personnel (200 total employed)
- Expertise in structural, mechanical, and piping installations
Outcomes:
- Successfully delivered structural, mechanical, and piping installations within the scheduled timeframe.
- Played a critical role in expanding lithium production capacity at Greenbushes, supporting global clean energy and technology markets.
- Maintained high safety and quality standards throughout the project, ensuring compliance with industry requirements.
- Strengthened Altrad’s reputation as a reliable partner for delivering complex infrastructure projects in the mining and energy sectors.
