South32, an Australian mining and metals company headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, has given a maintenance contract to EnerMech for its Alumina Worsley refinery. The three-year agreement with the company is for EnerMech to be looking after the overall maintenance, including inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT), rope access and insulation services and safety checks at the Worsley Alumina refinery, Australia.
Charles ‘Chuck’ Davison Jr., CEO of EnerMech, said: “This new three-year minimum award reflects the strength of our long-standing partnership with South32 and our commitment to delivering safe, efficient and high-quality maintenance services. Having worked alongside South32 at Worsley for a number of years, we understand the critical importance of reliability and performance at a site of this scale”.
EnerMech has been associated with the site since 2019 and has shown dedicated support at the operations, allocating dedicated crew members and resources during the shutdowns.
EnerMech VP Infrastructure & Industrial Solutions, Ahmed Yostry Mohamed, said, “Our team on the ground has a proven track record for safe and responsive delivery at Worsley. The permanent maintenance crew brings specialist expertise in inspection, NDT and rope access, with the ability to scale resources during peak shutdowns to keep operations running smoothly. By combining technical know-how with a strong safety culture, we give South32 confidence that its refinery will continue to operate efficiently and meet the demands of a world-class facility.”
South32 owns 86 per cent of Worsley Alumina, with the remaining being with Japan Alumina Associates, Australia (10 per cent) and Sojitz Alumina (4 per cent). Worsley Alumina refinery is one of the largest alumina refineries, and it mainly operates in the mining sector. It mainly takes away bauxite near Boddington and converts it to alumina. It is later used by South32’s Hillside and Mozal aluminium smelters in South Africa to convert the alumina powder to aluminium.
