Worley has been awarded contracts by BHP to provide study and engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services for expansion projects at Olympic Dam and Carrapateena, which remain subject to final investment decision by BHP.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The projects form part of BHP\u2019s Copper South Australia growth plans to increase production as demand continues to grow, driven by electrification and the energy transition. Worley will deliver study and EPCM services concurrently across multiple project phases for potential block cave development and associated infrastructure at Olympic Dam, and the potential expansion of Carrapateena\u2019s underground operations and processing infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Initial EPCM services have commenced for early-phase activities. Worley will provide full delivery and technical expertise through its team in Australia, supported by industry-leading specialist engineering service providers and Worley\u2019s Global Integrated Delivery team, as well as support from China and Chile. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis contract reflects Worley\u2019s continued focus on energy transition materials, such as copper, as a priority growth market,\u201d said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley. \u201cWe are pleased to provide ongoing support for BHP\u2019s ambition to grow its copper production in South Australia. <\/p>\n
“Our team brings experience in underground mining, processing and major project delivery, and we look forward to working with BHP and the local businesses in South Australia to progress these mega projects.\u201d<\/p>\n
