Delivering access solutions to one of WA's most remote mine sites.
The Bald Hill Mine, operated by Mineral Resources and located southeast of Kambalda WA, required a full scaffolding package to support its construction and commissioning phase. Lima was awarded the scaffolding contract, supplying 300 tonnes of tube and fit equipment, mobilising 22 personnel, and delivering engineering-certified designs with 24-hour turnaround. The project was completed LTI-free between July and December 2023.
Key Challenges
- Remote Goldfields location with constrained access and constantly evolving site conditions
- Complex scaffold builds requiring tube and fit as the only viable system
- 24-hour operations across a six-month construction program
- Hot weather conditions affecting crew rotation and program continuity
- Engineering design turnaround required within 24 hours to maintain build front momentum
- Camp still under construction during early mobilisation, requiring flexible accommodation arrangements
Solution
- Deployed 300 tonnes of well-maintained tube and fit scaffolding tailored to the site's complex layout
- Mobilised 20 experienced scaffolders and 2 supervisors across rotating 24-hour shifts
- Dedicated scaffold designer assigned to Bald Hill for rapid turnaround on engineering designs
- Live scaffold inspection tracking maintained between site and Perth office via SharePoint
- 1% Better Program implemented on site to support crew wellbeing across the six-month rotation
- Strong, diverse team selected to maintain quality across a long-duration remote build
Outcome
- Project delivered LTI-free across a six-month construction program
- Lima's first major mining construction project in the Goldfields region
- Demonstrated capability to deliver at full mining construction scale in a remote environment
- Additional scaffolding scope awarded by Polaris Engineering
