Project Overview

Roundel Civil Products designed, manufactured and supplied ten B200 bolted corrugated steel tunnel structures for the Amrun Haul Road MC10 Stage 3 project at Rio Tinto’s Amrun bauxite operation near Weipa. The structures form part of the civil infrastructure supporting the project’s heavy haul road network in remote Cape York.

Roundel's Scope of Supply

Queensland Manufacturing for Remote Infrastructure

Manufacturing the B200 plates in Townsville provided a direct Queensland supply pathway for this Far North Queensland project. The plate built system allowed the structures to be transported in manageable components, delivered progressively and assembled on site in line with the construction sequence.

The completed structures combine the strength of bolted corrugated steel with the flexibility of a modular construction method. Their scale, repeatability and suitability for staged installation made the system well matched to the logistical and programme demands of a remote mine infrastructure project.
