Intertek Robotic Laboratories was awarded the contract to provide Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) with a dedicated minesite laboratory at their CloudBreak Iron Ore mine and an open facility at the Herb Elliot Port facility in South Hedland.

The CloudBreak site was initially set up to complete high priority samples through a manual XRF laboratory prior to a fully automated and integrated sample preparation, Fusion and XRF facility which has been commissioned and is completing on site analysis.

The facility at the Port contains an open manual laboratory for all shipment analyses and a fully automated sample preparation facility. The facility accepts the shipment samples directly from the ship loading system and automatically processes them for the required physical analysis and provides the subsequent sample ready for analysis through the manual shipment laboratory.
