Southern Cross Electrical Engineering secures contract to complete refurbishment of Rio¡¯s Gove Peninsula mine

Southern Cross Electrical Engineering has reportedly secured a contract of $18 million to complete refurbishment work at Rio Tinto’s Gove Peninsula bauxite mine in the North East Arnhem Land site. The work also includes isolating and re-routing electrical and hydraulic services to the mine.

The Gove Peninsula operations are expected to finish in 2030 after supplying bauxite to the global aluminium industry for more than 40 years. Rio Tinto is preparing for the site closure along with the Traditional Owners, the Yolngu people, and other stakeholders.

Rio Tinto is using virtual reality technology to illustrate the rehabilitation process to give insight into the future look of the land and also to give an opportunity to the Traditional Owners to provide feedback.

The Gove mine, which in 2018 had produced 12.5 million tonnes of bauxite, is one of the key operations that Rio’s refurbishment project is currently focussed on, along with the Argyle diamond mine in Western Australia’s East Kimberley region and Energy Resources of Australia’s Ranger uranium mine in the Northern Territory.
