THE major expansion of operations at BHP Billiton Worsley Alumina is now officially complete with the refinery reaching its nameplate capacity of 4.6 million tonnes per annum.
The major milestone has been reached in Worsley’s 30th year of operations in the South West, with celebrations planned to mark the anniversary later this year.
Worsley asset president Ricus Grimbeek said the achievement was testament to the dedication of employees and contractors who had worked hard to ramp-up production safely and cost effectively.
The expansion project started in 2008 and included the extension of Worsley’s mining operations near Boddington, an increase in capacity at its Collie refinery and the upgrade of Bunbury port facilities.
“The expansion period was a challenging yet exciting time for Worsley,” Mr Grimbeek said.
“We are proud to have achieved what we set out to do thanks to the support of our employees, contractors and local communities.”
