The Samarco project is an integrated open pit mine, pipeline and port operation in Brazil. The project includes the longest iron concentrate pipeline in the world, which currently spans 398 kilometers (km) with a peak altitude of 1 150 meters above sea level (masl). The original system was completed in 1977, and has since expanded to include two additional pipelines. Ausenco PSI has provided Samarco with a variety of services throughout the development of this project, ranging from laboratory testing, simulations and design work through to construction and start-up support. Though the original pipeline predates the formation of Ausenco PSI, several key members of the design, construction, and start-up team are principals at our company today.
