Since the start of 2024, we have partnered with Alter Steel to conduct comprehensive feasibility studies and determine the ideal site for Australia's first real, clean steel mill: Pinkenba.    In addition to confirming the location, we are also involved in the Pre-FEED and FEED phases. We are evaluating Balance of Plant (BoP) options and collaborating with leading OEM partners to integrate the most advanced and efficient technologies available. Our expertise ensures that Pinkenba Mill is one of the most optimized in the world. Stay tuned for updates. #EngineeringExcellence #Mining #Metals #Steel #PositiveChange

Aligning mining organizations with zero-carbon transport may be a straightforward solution, but is it sustainable?  Despite the potential of recycled metals, the rapid increase in EV production means that nickel, copper, and steel will remain crucial for at least the next decade. EV batteries, especially those designed for longer ranges, require significant amounts of nickel, while copper, preferred for its conductivity and safety, will see a double-digit annual growth in demand.  Ricardo Monte Alto, Senior Principal at Hatch, shares his insights in the World Economic Forum article "Metals for Mobility: How Mining Can Meet Electric Vehicle Demand and Support the Energy Transition.” Read: https://lnkd.in/dkphfrey #HATCHfeatured #Advisory #Metals #WEF #ElectricVehicles #Batteries

Our latest #HatchBuildsProjects spotlight is on the Salar Yield Improvement Project in Salar de Atacama, Chile. By recovering 114 hectares of evaporation ponds and adding 40 new hectares, we’ve significantly boosted lithium yields without using more brine. Our innovative techniques have increased lithium recovery by 30%, ensuring both sustainability and efficiency. This project has achieved an outstanding 2.6 million incident-free hours. Recognized by IRMA for our responsible mining practices, it plays a crucial role in meeting the growing global demand for lithium. Delivered on time and within budget, this project exemplifies our dedication to excellence and innovation: https://lnkd.in/g7UDsd_m #SustainableMining #Innovation #Lithium #Albemarle #ResponsibleMining

Meet Pallavi Lal, P.E. Lal, our global director of Vehicles and Operations, based in our Ambler, USA office.

Well done, Pallavi! Read more about how Pallavi is igniting innovation through inclusivity: https://lnkd.in/g3nSYG8B #InspirationAlly #PositiveChange #HatchInclusion

In a world of shifting climates, ensuring the longevity of ports and terminals infrastructure demands resilient solutions. This is why our adaptation planning experts prioritize location-specific climate challenges and assess risks beyond engineering.  We contextualize the required actions by clarifying present and future risks, proposing mitigation strategies, and integrating holistic adaptations that consider social, environmental, and economic factors. Our approach embeds these actions into ongoing operations and governance, ensuring the long-term resilience of ports and terminals infrastructure against the effects of climate change. Discover how we are shaping the future of resilient ports and terminals infrastructure: https://lnkd.in/gjGs9arn   #ClimateChange #Infrastructure #SustainablePorts #Decarbonization #Hatch 

In August 2020, the United Nations introduced the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (#GISTM) to ensure zero harm to people and the environment. With the compliance deadline fast approaching, it's crucial to stay ahead. Join Laura Heath, MBA as she discusses unlocking GISTM compliance through: - Aligning objectives - Self-assessments - Third-party gap assessments Discover essential strategies to guide your organization through this critical transition with digital tools like Hatch Integrated Tailings Management (#HITM): https://lnkd.in/gGfzP__n #ResponsibleMining #ZeroHarm #Tailings #TailingsManagement

The visible impacts of climate change demonstrate the need for resilient infrastructure and supply chains.     We assess the physical impacts of climate change and how to build resilience while achieving business objectives. As our clients strive to improve their facilities, they are investing, building, operating, and maintaining these assets using new criteria and methodologies. One of the ways we achieved this was by conducting a climate change vulnerability and resilience risk assessment for new construction and modifications to existing infrastructure of a transit system. We assessed infrastructure exposure to changing climate parameters, comparing values from the project agreement against climate change modeling, recommending design criteria changes, and providing input for engineering cost estimates.     Let’s partner with you to improve, build, operate, and maintain your assets sustainably and resiliently. See how we are reimagining infrastructure for a sustainable tomorrow in our report: https://lnkd.in/eCRYfpet    #Hydrogen #Energy #Sustainability #PositiveChange #UNSDGs
