Project
Overview
The Roy Hill iron ore operation in Western Australia depends on a dedicated heavy-haul rail line to transport ore from the Pilbara to port facilities. A slope instability identified along the corridor posed a geohazard risk to the rail infrastructure, requiring urgent stabilisation during a scheduled shutdown window. Geovert was contracted to deliver the works under strict time constraints, mobilising specialist plant and crews to complete anchor installation across the affected slope and ensure uninterrupted ore shipments.
