Challenge

South32 needed assistance with engineering services for a slope stability remediation for the pre-feasibilty study for Bauxite Residue Disposal Area at Worsley Operations bauxite refinery.

Solution

SLR provided a pre-feasibility assessment, study, design, report and drawings to identify preferred options of remediation for the Bauxite Reside Disposal Area in compliance with Global Industry Tailings Standard on Tailing Management (GISTM).

Impact

SLR was engaged to undertake a pre-feasibility study for Bauxite Residue Disposal Area 2 (BRDA 2) remediation at South32 Worlsey Alumina. Our team offered specialist engineering services for a slope stability remediation options assessment, alongside the pre-feasibility study which included the following:

  • Seepage and stability modelling
  • Geotechnical Review Report
  • Options Assessment Report
  • Pre-feasibility study design including cost estimate, schedule and drawing set
  • Feasibility study (detailed design) and cost estimate schedule
  • Engineering management plan
  • Feasibility study work plan and basis of estimate
  • Risk assessment and register
  • Execution basis of estimate and schedule
