BHP BFX OD Asset Integrity and Maintenance Review

AEP Elical undertook the Olympic Dam BFX project Asset Integrity & Maintenance Strategy study; a component of the proposed $2.75 billion Brownfields Expansion planning. This included the assessment of the operational life and risk categories of the existing mine material handling, processing plant and associated infrastructure for life extension under the broader BFX project scope. Multi-discipline inspections coupled with mine & and process plant integrity and maintenance report information will inform a report detailing Olympic Dam infrastructure asset criticality, capacity, remaining life and recommended sustaining and life extension actions and cost estimates. The AEP Elical report was used by the asset owner as data in the planning and prioritisation the BFX pre-feasibility options.
