Delivering a 35,000T caustic storage facility with seamless plant integration
The Orica Chemicals Yarwun Plant required a new caustic storage terminal at Fisherman’s Landing, part of a $15M investment to expand operations. The project scope included the design and installation of a 35,000 tonne GeoTank storage facility, supported by a 370m transfer pipeline from Fisherman’s Landing Wharf and a 5.5km buried delivery pipeline to Yarwun. This major infrastructure upgrade ensured reliable caustic supply and enhanced operational efficiency.
A successful, large-scale project delivered on time and to specification.
