Preliminary structural and civil engineering for a Victorian greenfield mineral sands refinery — design basis, layouts and study deliverables.

Project Context

The Goschen mineral sands refinery is a proposed greenfield development in regional Victoria. Early engineering needed integrated civil and structural inputs to support permitting, investment decisions and EPCM mobilisation.

Engineering Scope

  • Preliminary structural layouts and design criteria for refinery modules
  • Civil coordination on bulk earthworks, roads, drainage and pad levels
  • Structural quantities and assumptions for study-stage cost models
  • Identification of geotechnical and layout risks affecting steel and concrete scope
  • Input to environmental and planning documentation where structural/civil interfaces arose

Outcomes

  • Unified study-stage civil/structural position for investors and regulators
  • Design basis ready for detailed design commencement
  • Efficient handover path to IFC delivery teams
