Alcan G3 Expansion Project, Vietnam

During a six-month period, ALE transported around 75,000te as part of the G3 expansion of Alcan Gove’s alumina refinery in Australia’s Northern Territory.

ALE loaded-in pre-assembled modules when they arrived in Vietnam from Thailand, and positioned them on top of pre-cast concrete bases using a ramp. This created a SUPERPAM for shipping to Australia that would be ready for load-out and installation on arrival. The modules were moved using SPMTs and are the heaviest to have been loaded-out in Vietnam - they were built with their foundations incorporated in order to minimise the site work required.
