Western Turner Syncline 2 Project – Western Australia

The Western Turner Syncline 2 (WTS2) Project was a major iron ore infrastructure development in Western Australia's Pilbara region, involving extensive civil and structural construction works to support expanded mining operations.

The project included approximately 21,000 m³ of earthworks, 10,000 m³ of concrete and the installation of three large conveyor tunnels beneath a haul road, together with ROM bin, crusher and conveyor infrastructure.

Working within this complex construction environment required a strong focus on HSE leadership, critical risk management, contractor safety, excavation controls and safe mobile plant operations.

Key safety challenges included deep excavations, heavy lifting, temporary works, working at heights, concrete construction and managing simultaneous high-risk activities across multiple work fronts.
