The construction company will be accountable for the delivery of a waste line replacement at QAL’s Parsons Point alumina refinery in Gladstone.

Rio Tinto holds 80% stake in QAL, Australia’s first alumina refinery and producer of around 3.7 million tonnes of alumina per year.

The project comprises the design of the new waste line; removal of the existing pipeline; enhancement of the support structures that include around 1400 piles within tidal and marine zones; and installation of the new waste line, 8.8 kilometres of DN 350 SCH 60 above ground steel pipeline.

McConnell Dowell has initiated its work on the project and expects it to complete by 2021.

The company was formerly encompassed in building Rio Tinto’s $75 million Amrun Chitch export facility in Queensland as part of the miner’s Amrun bauxite project.

The facility attributes a 650-metre long access jetty and 350-metre long loading wharf, winning a Queensland Civil Contractors Federation Earth Award in 2018.
