BDA works in conjunction with stakeholders throughout the entire lifecycle of development and ensures success by utilizing the following process:
- Identification and Evaluation: Preliminary works and feasibility studies are conducted by a select team of experts to ensure project viability. The latest technologies and innovations from around the world are assessed during the conceptual phase to ensure the future success of the asset.
- Workshops: The scope of work for all involved is clearly defined, with international work shops held to provide the latest information and technology to ensure all parties work together in a cohesive manner.
- Implementation: BDA continues to work in conjunction with EPC contractors during this stage.
- Operations and Management (Optional): Where required, BDA can mobilize a highly skilled international team to ensure the successful operation and management of the asset upon completion of construction.
Solar Power
- Initially born out of a desire to decarbonise power consumption in the mining sector, our Three Springs Solar + BESS project (TSS) has gone through a long evolution and is now targeting construction by Q4 2025.
- TSS will be an 89MW (AC) PV solar power plant + 100MW 4-hr BESS facility located at Three Springs in Western Australia.
- Most development work has been completed with a grid access offer granted by Western Power in November 2023.
- TSS sits on 502 Ha of land that Blue Diamond Australia owns freehold.
- TSS sits 800m from the Three Springs substation and will connect via a 330kv line.
- EPA & DA approvals have been obtained and are valid until November 2026.
- Our EPC contractor has confirmed that the size of our land holding would allow for an upgrading in the solar capacity of our facility to 250MW (AC) in the future.
Ammonium Nitrate Storage Facilities
During its years of operating within the mining industry, BDA has recognized the requirement for AN storage facilities. Using their technical expertise and long standing business relationships, BDA is presently conducting feasibility studies for various locations for such facilities with close proximity to mine sites around Australia.
Diesel Storage Facility
In 2007 our Managing Director Prakash Seth noted the increasing disparity between demand from the mining industry for diesel and supply capabilities of existing refineries within Australia. With a vision to create the world’s first completely unmanned facility, the 75 Mega Litre diesel storage facility was developed and designed by BDA, using the latest state of the art technologies and systems available from around the world.
All processes including product testing, accounting and inventory management, and security systems, were fully automated, with complete suppliers & customers integration online, thus requiring no humans.
BDA raised capital for the $90 Million project, and under the structure of a joint venture with Morgan Stanley, developed the storage facility.
The facility is one of a kind with two patented inventions created by Prakash Seth. This diesel storage facility is located in Mackay, Queensland, with an annual throughput capacity of 1.8 billion Litres. BDA's share in this facility was sold in 2011.
