Operation Details
Project Logistics & B2B Overview
Geographic Location and Topography
Quarries 10 operates within the South West Metropolitan Fringe of Western Australia, a zone characterised by low-relief coastal plain terrain with shallow calcrete and aeolian limestone deposits. The flat-to-undulating topography facilitates high-volume mass earthmoving with minimal bench-height constraints, enabling wide extraction footprints. Proximity to Perth's urban corridor creates logistical efficiency but imposes strict buffer-zone compliance, directly influencing haul road design and dust suppression infrastructure across the operational envelope.
B2B Lifecycle and Operations
As an operating asset, this quarry sustains continuous extraction cycles demanding uninterrupted diesel consumption across primary drilling, blasting, loading, and haulage fleets. Operations depend on grid-tied power substations or dedicated gensets to maintain crushing and screening circuits at production-grade throughput. B2B procurement windows for fuel supply contracts, tyre management, and wear-parts replenishment are recurrent. The site's metropolitan adjacency supports potential 24/7 operational scheduling, subject to EPA noise and vibration permit conditions.
Engineering and Extraction Infrastructure
Limestone and limesand extraction at this classification typically integrates a multi-stage conveyor network linking the active quarry face to primary jaw crushers, secondary cone circuits, and product stockpile zones. Key engineered components include:
- Overland belt conveyors for high-tonnage material transfer
- Vibrating grizzly feeders and scalping screens
- Dust suppression cannons at transfer points
- Stormwater retention and sediment control bunds
- Weighbridge and load-out infrastructure for road transport dispatch
ESG, Value Chain and Sustainability
Operating within the South West Metro corridor, this quarry is subject to Heritage Act 2018 (WA) compliance obligations, requiring documented consultation with registered Aboriginal heritage bodies prior to any ground disturbance expansion. B2B sustainability priorities include:
- Engagement with Aboriginal-owned enterprises for civil subcontracting and land management
- Progressive rehabilitation bonding per DMP requirements
- Carbon-intensity reporting aligned with Scope 1 diesel emissions tracking
- Biodiversity offset planning for native vegetation clearing approvals
