Fenner Dunlop will manufacture and supply 27,854 metres of steel cord belt and splice kits for Rio Tinto’s Western Turner Syncline Phase 2 (WTS2) project.
Mondium won the contract for all engineering and design as well as procurement and construction works associated with the development of the process plant, overland conveyor and non-process infrastructure.
The large racetrack reel will be manufactured by JAF, part of the Fenner Dunlop Australia group of companies, to maximise reel length, reduce splicing on site and installation time.
The WTS2 project is expected to be completed in 2021.
