As part of this globally significant project we are working with BCI Minerals and Engenium to perform this scope and support the continuous optimisation of the construction methodology for the evaporation ponds and crystallisers through delivery.
Mardie, located on the Pilbara coast in Western Australia, will be the first new major salt project developed in Australia in two decades and the only Australian operation producing commercially saleable salt and sulphate of potash. It will be the largest single salt operation in Australia and one of the largest evaporative salt operations globally.
