With over $60 billion in offshore infrastructure due for retirement over the coming decades, Australia’s oil and gas industry is entering a new era of decommissioning. And here in Western Australia, we’re at the centre of it. But dismantling old assets is only part of...
Mining in Western Australia generates enormous value, which is why it’s easy to overlook the potential added value of recyclable materials at the end of a mine’s life. From heavy mobile equipment and processing plants to high-output battery systems powering modern...
