• Rio Tinto's Cape Lambert A load out facility Upgrade for Austral Construction.
• Cape Lamberts 2.4km (A) jetty which was initially set up for iron ore ships of half the size was overhauled and jetty strengthened to allow larger ships and upgrade of production to approximately move US $2 million of Iron ore an hour.

This required the demolition of the existing dolphins and the installation of 18 new Dolphins for the larger ships to moor up to while being loaded and a new state of the art Ship Access Platform and all new under wharf access walkway platforms. Four new Sub boards for each of the four berths at Wharf level and all new electrical lighting, Power and control systems for all under wharf electrical apparatus, all being done while Jetty and shiploader were still operational, closing one Berth at a time as to not affect RIO Tinto's production requirements.
