Project Schedule

In Project SafeGates, Minderoo has developed:

  • a method to deliver humanitarian aid; and
  • the ability to sustainably scale that method to support greater and more reliable flows of humanitarian aid.

Project SafeGates entails:

  • the construction and operation of three new automated, efficient, and secure crossings (the SafeGates); and
  • the automation of the screening of vehicles delivering aid through security-enforced boundaries to mitigate, to the extent reasonably practicable, risk to either side.

Minderoo engaged Fortescue for its expertise (in engineering, procurement, logistics, design build, construction, project management services, and working in high risk locations), and to design the SafeGates, develop a works schedule and provide project management support.

The Project SafeGates Scope of Works and Project Plan (Plans) are made available by Minderoo on an “as is” basis and for informational purposes only.
