Operational discipline was fundamental to the project’s success. The Port Hedland operations ensured transparency, accountability, and predictability across a transient workforce. The project team completed all 21 planned shutdowns over a two-year period, on time, and without impact to the customers’ operations. “The project team did an outstanding job of identifying works that could be completed out of shuts. In total, over 750 scheduled duration hours were removed from in shut windows and re-sequenced to out of shut windows, significantly reducing the chances of negatively impacting Port operations. The completion of this project enables our customer to improve ore availability rates, which results in more iron ore being shipped out. The project team has shown our commitment to providing quality outcomes across the business is unwavering whilst remaining strongly committed to ‘The Safe Way is the Only Way’. This customer service reinforces Monadelphous’ strong reputation and helps to build on the long-standing relationships we have with our customers,” said Brent. Well done to the teams for working together and successfully completing this major project.  ![](https://ecnewsmonadelphous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PoPH-1024x576.png) *Pictured: Port of Port Hedland.
