Worley’s scope also includes concrete, structural steel, piping, equipment installation, electrical and instrumentation work, and commissioning of the dry mill and screening areas.

The engineering service provider has partnered with the George Gordon First Nations to deliver socio-economic benefits including Indigenous cultural awareness, training and mentoring programmes.

Worley is committed to sustainability, aiming to operate with reduced greenhouse gas emissions and freshwater consumption per tonne of product, setting a new standard for potash mines in the region.

Worley Canada Construction vice-president Martin Clutterbuck said: “Fertilisers play a critical role in ensuring global food security, as their absence would impede billions of individuals from accessing vital nourishment.

“We are pleased to be able to support BHP to deliver this project using our local construction capabilities, while meeting their social value and sustainability goals.”
