PROJECT OVERVIEW

Westlink was engaged to provide full end-to-end logistics management of structural steel, platework and preassemblies from Tianjin, China to Port Hedland, Western Australia. All delivered steel was used in the construction of processing plant for a Greenfields lithium refinery at the Kathleen Valley Project site, between Wiluna and Leinster in Western Australia, for Liontown Resources.

SCOPE
  • Pre-shipment inspections of steel and equipment in China

  • Multipurpose Vessels (MPPs) – Tianjin, China and Vung Tau, Vietnam to Port Hedland, Western Australia

  • Oversized and Conventional Haulage – from port of discharge to Kathleen Valley project site

  • Construction coordination – coordination with site team to unload trailers for direct install or laydown

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Zero LTIs

  • Maximised section size, preassembly and stackability to reduce logistics cost and schedule

  • Alternative port selection to reduce vessel detention risk due to congestion

  • Multiple consecutive breakbulk shipments

  • Laydown management with delivery coordination to site according to construction schedule
