Location: Hay Point, Queensland, Australia
Project Period: 2011–2012
Owner: BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA)
EPC Contractor: Bechtel Australia Pty Ltd
Steel Tonnage: Approx. 17,000 tonnes
Fabrication Standard: AWS D1.1

The Hay Point Terminal Expansion Project was developed to increase the capacity and resilience of one of Queensland’s major coal export facilities. Shanghai Matsuo supplied key structural steel for the terminal superstructure and offshore piling system, with a total delivery of approximately 17,000 tonnes, including more than 3,000 tonnes of large modular steel structures.

The project involved offshore modules measuring up to approximately 30 m × 30 m × 3.5 m, with individual modules weighing more than 150 tonnes. Fabrication required strict control of dimensional accuracy, welding quality and corrosion protection for demanding marine conditions.

Successful delivery of the project demonstrated Shanghai Matsuo’s capability in the high-precision fabrication and batch delivery of large, heavy offshore steel structures and became an important reference in the Australian port and marine infrastructure market.
