The NCIG coal export terminal uses the largest reclaimers ever built

While assembling the facts of major projects to include in our 2011 Annual Review, it was clear that several of our most prominent current assignments were innovative and in fact unique.

The Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG) has developed one of the largest initial-build coal-export terminals in the world, employing modern loading tech-niques and the largest reclaimers ever built.

NCIG serves several coal producers including BHP Billiton, Centennial Coal, Donaldson Coal, Peabody Energy, Felix Resources (Yanzhou) Coal; and Whitehaven Coal. The project includes development of the Hunter River for shipping channels and berths, a rail loop, dump stations, stockyards, stacker reclaimers and wharf facili-ties on the 136-hectare site.

In the development of two important metals projects, Hatch concluded that for the key projects to be success-ful, the application of innovative construction strategies would be required.

In the first instance, Xstrata’s Koniambo Nickel project in New Caledonia, a French overseas territory, in the Pacific Ocean, 1,100 kilometres east of Townsville, Australia, needed innovative ideas, great engineering design, and flawless construction.

The Koniambo Nickel site in New Caledonia is an unpar-alleled nickel resource, but its remote location called for ground-breaking construction solutions. Getting equip-ment, commodities and construction teams onto the island in the scale required for the $3.5-billion Koniambo facility would be a major undertaking.

The metallurgical plant was designed in sections by the Hatch–Technip team in Kuala Lumpur. Several modules, 50 metres high and weighing 3,500 tonnes, were

The Koniambo Nickel metallurgical plant was constructed in modules in China, and transported by ship to New Caledonia

7THIS IS HATCH 2011

manufactured and assembled in China, then placed on ships that delivered the modules to New Caledonia.

Specialized equipment was used to ensure the safe transfer of the giant pieces onto land and into their final positions.

In the Caribbean, Hatch received the first of four of the heaviest autoclaves (pressure vessels) ever constructed for a gold pressure oxidation project. They were destined for the Pueblo Viejo refractory gold-ore treatment plant in the central highlands of the Dominican Republic.

The four Barrick Gold autoclaves are the largest pressure vessels by fabricated weight of their kind to date in the gold industry. They were designed by Hatch, fabricated

in Malaysia under management by a full-time Hatch team, and delivered to the Dominican Republic.

Sasol, the South African energy and chemicals company, has appointed Hatch as one of its two preferred Licensor’s Engineering Contractors for the Sasol® Fixed Bed, Dry Bottom™ Gasification technology for an initial term of 10 years. Hatch covers the upstream aspects of the technology — coal delivery, proprietary gasification equipment and ash handling.

The Nickel Rim South project team completed more than 5.7 million work-hours without a lost-time incident

Nickel Rim South, an Xstrata projectSudbury, Canada

Xstrata’s Nickel Rim South project was developed by Hatch through the Hatch–Stantec alliance. The project showcases modern mining in Canada’s nickel belt.

Nickel Rim demonstrated the extraordinary results that can be achieved through a shared commitment to safety, sustainability, thorough planning and effective construction management. Hatch and its alliance partner were responsible for the engineering manage-ment, procurement, controls, construction management (EPCM), and commissioning.

In early 2004, following a detailed feasibility study, Falconbridge — which has since been acquired by Xstrata — set out an aggressive plan to access the ore body. The new underground mine was designed for a production rate of 1.25 million tonnes per annum of

nickel, copper and platinum-group ores from two zones at depths ranging from 1,200 to 1,700 metres below surface.

This was the first new technologically advanced mine to be completed within the world renowned Sudbury basin in more than 15 years. Two shafts were constructed: one for ventilation and one for production. Justification for the aggressive development of the mine was based on Xstrata’s confidence that the $925-million investment would be profitable in virtually any commodities market.

Project quality was evidenced by the sense of pride among team members and our client at handover. Qual-ity control standards and frequent testing were defined at the outset of each work package, using quality control methodologies contributed by contractors, and quality assurance audits by the Hatch EPCM team.

DELIvErING PrOJECTSHatch uses a phased approach to develop major projects. The methodology was created and adopted by our con-struction team more than 50 years ago, and has always stressed high-quality project execution and safety for everyone who visits or works at the site. The objective remains the same: build, expand or upgrade the client’s production facility as quickly as possible. The disciplines that lie behind the planning and design of client facili-ties have been continuously refined and shaped over the years to deliver the projects as “complete.”

Not surprisingly, when Hatch turns a facility over to the client it functions exactly as planned.

12

Corporate Social ResponsibilityHatch takes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seriously. Our commitment is to behave ethically and transparently whenever and wherever we are assigned to client projects. Our objective is to improve the quality of life of our employees and contractors, their families and the local community from the moment we are engaged until final handover of a project.

Safety and QualitySafety and quality are priorities on all Hatch projects. Over the past five years, Hatch’s annual hours worked doubled to more than 40 million, yet our lost-time injury frequency (LTIF) has maintained a rate of just 0.13 for every 200,000 project hours worked.

Last year, Hatch won more than a dozen industry awards, recognizing our excellence in engineering, management, innovation and safety.

Project LifeCycle ProcessHatch’s process for executing some of the world’s most challenging projects is built on a phased approach. Hatch plans carefully for quality outcomes and zero harm to employees and contractors using the Hatch Project LifeCycle Process. This approach has consistently proven that the process can reduce risk and deliver predictable outcomes.

EngineeringHatch has earned a reputation for superior project out-comes based on a strong tradition of engineering excel-lence and innovative design. Hatch’s expertise incorpo-rates all major disciplines of engineering as well as areas of specialist expertise.

Our teams are equipped with the latest tools and tech-nologies including data-centric 3D plant design systems, parametric 3D component design software, finite ele-ment analysis, computational fluid dynamics and many types of simulation software.

ProcurementHatch’s procurement services include design, planning and execution of procurement strategies, supplier evalu-ation, tender management, expediting, quality surveil-lance, logistics, site materials-management and contract administration. Hatch’s award-winning, innovative global procurement methodologies and systems help projects meet their budget and schedule despite the tight supply markets that are expected to prevail in coming years for most capital goods and services.

Construction ManagementHatch effectively plans, executes and completes projects by applying well-developed systems based on early con-struction involvement with a focus on facility start-up.

Hatch helps clients deliver their project objectives by developing and implementing strategies using the best people and technologies, and bringing consistency across operations, while focusing on a high level of certainty for safety, performance, quality, cost and schedule.

Commissioning and Start-upHatch coordinates activities between the client and engineering, procurement and construction teams early in the project life cycle in order to organize the activity sequencing for a quick and successful start-up.

We focus on placing the best people on site to handle testing and commissioning to ensure that design perfor-mance is met and the facility achieves rapid ramp-up.

MINING & METALSThe global economy grows stronger each day. The recent worldwide recession took its toll on most modern economies. Only a handful seem not to have been seriously affected by the worst recession since the 1930s. With the current economic upswing, some nations have been aggressive in their demands for copper, nickel, iron ore, alumina, coal and gold, all of which are princi-pal ingredients of economic expansion. In the meantime, by being owners and major investors of proven resources, the great industrial economies are ensuring that they will control the commodities they need to maintain their industrial capacity and deliver their products to world markets.

Developing one of the world’s largest nickel depositsNew Caledonia

The Koniambo Nickel project, a joint-venture partnership between Xstrata Nickel and Société Minière du Sud Pacifique (SMSP), is a greenfield pyrometallurgical facility in New Caledonia designed to develop one of the world’s largest and highest-grade nickel laterite deposits.

The project will process ore in a 60,000-tonne-per- annum ferronickel smelter. The smelter will use a stan-dard pyrometallurgical process and a new technology to confine dust.

Because of the scale of the project and its remote loca-tion, the metallurgical plant was constructed in 15 sepa-rate modules in Qingdao, China then shipped to site. The modules, which weigh up to 3,500 tonnes each and can be more than 50 metres tall, arrived in New Caledonia between October and December 2010.

Hatch, in joint venture with Technip, in an integrated Owner’s team is constructing a metallurgical plant; a 350-megawatt coal-fired power station; an ore prepara-tion plant; an 11.5-kilometre ore conveyor; a port; and a construction camp for more than 4,800 people.

Hatch’s Systems & Process Control group was responsible for the project’s fully integrated systems and automation approach, which includes state-of-the-art communica-tions infrastructure, operational systems, fibre optics and networks, security systems, all management systems, and all automation.

Phase 1 of the AP60 smelting technology plantCanada

Hatch and a joint venture partner are building for Rio Tinto Alcan (RTA) a $1.2-billion plant in Jonquière, Québec to test and develop RTA’s proprietary AP60 smelting technology.

The AP60 technology plant will operate at an unprec-edented 570,000 amperes and is expected to produce 67 percent more aluminum per pot than the previous generation AP30 technology, which operates at 300,000 amperes.

The Hatch joint venture completed the project’s feasibil-ity study in 2010 after adding several value improvement ideas into the project’s scope.

The current engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) mandate includes the detailed engineering of specially adapted buildings and equipment; the deployment of innovative procurement and construction strategies; the first-time implementa-tion of newly elevated health, safety and environment standards; and the pre-commissioning of a state-of-the-art development plant.

The 38-cell plant may also be expanded in the future. If all the project phases move forward, the plant could reach a total of 272 cells installed with a production capacity of 460,000 tonnes of aluminum per annum.

The Richards Bay Minerals tailings treatment plant extends the life of the mine by recovering valuable minerals lost in the minerals separation process

Tailings treatment plant completed under budgetSouth Africa

Hatch has completed, under budget, the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for a new tailings treatment plant at the Richards Bay Minerals site on the Indian Ocean.

The $175-million treatment plant, jointly owned by Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and a Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) consortium, recovers valuable zircon and titanium-dioxide-bearing minerals lost in the minerals separation process.

The plant will use a new process to treat tailings that have been stockpiled for more than 30 years. The new process was tested in a pilot plant to evaluate its full potential.

As part of their EPCM contract, Hatch provided basic and detailed engineering; conveyor design and detailed drawings; steel detailing; cost and change management; planning and scheduling; procurement; construction management; and commissioning.

Codelco projects to increase copper productionChile

Codelco, the largest copper-producing company in the world, has engaged Hatch to provide a range of services for some of their largest and most significant projects.

Hatch is conducting a feasibility study for the Chuquicamata underground mine. The study is the largest of its kind ever undertaken by Codelco and will examine the feasibility of expanding the existing open- pit Chuquicamata mine in order to transition to under-ground mining at a production rate of 140,000 tonnes per day (tpd). Phase 1 includes engineering for project early works. Capital costs will exceed $500 million.

For Mina Ministro Hales, a 50,000-tpd greenfield mine that will produce copper in a conventional concentrator, Hatch will conduct the detailed engineering and provide procurement services. Hatch completed basic engineer-ing for the mine in 2010.

China’s QSLG building major industrial complexesChina

Qinghai Salt Lake Group is building a major integrated industrial complex at Golmud, the third largest city in the Tibetan plateau of Western China. The new plant will use residual magnesium chloride brine from the existing potash operation to produce marketable mag-nesium metal and supply chlorine to a new polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plant.

Hatch is providing basic engineering, custom design of key process equipment, and project implementation support for a greenfield 100,000-tonne-per-annum (tpa) magnesium smelter based on Norsk Hydro technology that was successfully implemented at Bécancour, Québec, Canada. When completed, it will be the world’s largest magnesium smelter.

Four 90-megawatt (MW) six-electrode furnaces will produce calcium carbide for the production of acetylene

gas, an essential feedstock for the PVC plant. The new furnace design will be developed by Hatch with support from Carbide Industries, a USA producer of calcium carbide products. It will be the most powerful furnace ever constructed.

Hatch is also supplying engineering services for a sepa-rate 500,000-tpa PVC complex, which QSLG is con-structing at Xi Ning. This includes an additional calcium-carbide furnace, and an acetylene gas generator.

In collaboration with Chinese design institutes, project management firms and the QSLG Owner’s team, Hatch will design and build the magnesium smelter, five 90-MW calcium-carbide furnaces and acetylene gas- generation plants, making the Golmud and XiNing com-plexes among the largest of their kind in the world.

The Alaskan Way Viaduct is being replaced by a 2.9-kilometre double-deck roadway tunnel. Construction will use the world’s largest earth pressure balance tunneling machine

Replacing the Alaskan Way Viaduct and SeawalluSA

The State Route 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct is a two-level reinforced concrete structure that runs the full length of the Seattle, Washington, waterfront and carries more than 100,000 vehicles per day. The viaduct was constructed in the 1950s and is nearing the end of its 75-year design life. It suffered damage during a 2001 earthquake and no longer meets today’s seismic design standards or current roadway design standards for lane widths, shoulders, and ramp sight distances and tapers.

Built in the 1930s, Seattle’s Elliott Bay seawall holds in place soil found at the foundation of the viaduct. The sea-wall also sustained damage in 2001 and no longer meets seismic design standards.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), King County, the City of Seattle, the Port of Seattle, and the Federal Highway Administration have

partnered to develop and construct a replacement project that will meet current standards and the need for long-term mobility in the corridor.

The preferred alternative for replacing the viaduct’s downtown waterfront section consists of an approxi-mately 2.9-kilometre-long double-deck roadway tunnel that would extend from Seattle’s stadium area south of downtown to a north portal near Seattle’s Space Needle. With a bored diameter of 15.3 metres, the earth pressure balance tunneling machine would be the largest in the world.

Construction to replace the southern mile of the viaduct with a side-by-side roadway is already under way. The state’s replacement projects are estimated to cost $3.1 billion.

Hatch Mott MacDonald (HMM) is WSDOT’s Project Management Assistant Consultant and provides program and design management, and related technical and construction management services.
