In 2024 EIG Australia completed the supply and installation of a 55kL aviation fuel farm facility for Mineral Resources Limited at their Kens Bore mine site. The project was part of the new Ken’s Bore Resort Construction Project and was situated directly next to the new terminal building, with above and underground pipework spanning 200m from the fuel farm to the airfield. EIG worked closely with MRL and Viva to deliver a quality facility that complied with Australian, MRL, Viva and JIG standards and provided a number of cost and time saving opportunities. This was especially crucial as the installation of the aviation facility opened up avenues for MRL to fast-track the launch of their dedicated charter flight service MinsRes Air.

EIG Australia was commissioned to oversee the comprehensive design and construction of the impressive 400KL Bulk Fuel Facility, which encompassed the fabrication, installation, and commissioning of Rio Tinto’s Lens AB Fuel Hub. In addition to this fuel facility, EIG undertook the construction of all services pertaining to the Non Processed Infrastructure (NPI). This encompassed a wide range of services, including the installation of site switchboards, lighting towers, building services, compressed air systems, oily water systems, and various other essential components

As part of our extensive scope of work, we successfully designed and constructed six Bulk Lube Hose Reel Gantries, equipped with the capability to dispense up to 14 different types of lubrication products each. These cutting-edge gantries were strategically installed in both the HME Workshop and the LME Workshop, facilitating optimal efficiency within the facility. Additionally, we installed an impressive 2 kilometers of Code 61 hydraulic I6 Spec Stainless Steel piping, ensuring the entire infrastructure of the facility met stringent quality standards.

In addition to the gantries and piping, EIG also provided a transportable bulk lube sea container, specifically designed to dispense lubrication products in remote field locations. This container serves as a convenient and reliable solution for lubrication needs in challenging environments.

EIG delivered the mechanical construction along with the electrical design and commissioning assurance of a major diesel filtration facility on Garden Island. This facility is capable of filtering 1200L/minute of Diesel fuel and is comprised of two high volume pre-filtration vessels, six high volume coalesces and filtration vessels.

Despite the perceived difficulties that the client foresaw EIG would encounter in delivering the complex and critically important project, EIG completed the project ahead of an already advanced schedule.

Designed, constructed and commissioned by EIG, the FMG Tug Boat Harbour fuel system includes a 200kl self-bunded storage tank with a custom-built offshore refuelling container, that has 800m of above / belowground piping which employs a state-of-the-art leak detection system, Mining / Marine grade MCC housing multiple Variable Speed Drive’s, PLC, Network Equipment and other pertinent process control infrastructure. The harbour also utilises a TubePress piping system throughout.

EIG also designed and supplied a remote fibre optic network to mitigate any safety concerns and send such signals over long distances.

EIG completed the demolition of a non-compliant fuel delivery system and the design and installation of a new larger capacity and fully compliant bulk storage and fuel delivery system.

This fuel delivery system provides diesel fuel for eight generators, which powers Koodaideri Village, the accommodation on site.

EIG provided the client with a fully automated fuel delivery system and lessened the need for manual inventory checking and refuelling.
