Shark Bay – Salt Processing and Shiploading 

A short time frame project (9 months) for the supply of a new Salt Ship loader to be Supplied, delivered to site and commissioned. A critical factor in the development of the ship loader was the site specific design criteria. Qfactor collaborated with several other specialist engineering firms and lead the project management of the custom design, fabrication, erection and commissioning of the processing system and shiploader.

Qfactor was selected from a panel of suppliers for our strategic design solution that modularised the systems into easily transportable sections and our pre-commissioning and functional testing solutions.


Given the complexity of the machine, it’s operational functions and bespoke materials, Qfactor was able to analyse through the complexities of the design criteria and deliver a machine that was 20% more cost effective and 25% more operationally effective, saving both capital funds and improving operational outputs.
