The Xstrata Copper Emissions project was a major initiative that involved reducing fugitive emissions and designing and implementing numerous operational and engineering controls to collect and reduce off-gases produced from each plant. The core objective was to limit the potential health and environmental impacts on employees and the local community. This project was vital in upholding Xstrata Copper’s sustainability commitments, as well as managing the potential impacts of the Federal Governments proposed emissions trading scheme.
Mineforce was responsible for the fabrication, construction and civil works associated with capturing and treating emissions from the Copper Smelter.
