A proud moment for EonCoat! Rio Tinto DSL’S corrosion protection initiative using EonCoat has been recognised for a national innovation award. Their Dampier Salt Corrosion Protection program was shortlisted as a finalist in the 2025 Australian Mining Prospect Awards in the Innovative Mining Solution category. This achievement showcases Rio’s focus on innovation in asset management and reflects the industry’s shift toward safer, more sustainable corrosion protection strategies – and we’re proud that EonCoat is playing a role in that progress.
The first trial at Rio Tinto’s Dampier Salt site delivered coating remediation work on the gangway structure and jetty piles in Karratha. With the support of Rio Tinto DSL, the skilled execution of contractor Civmec, and Ecoatech plural component equipment, this project demonstrates what is possible when all stakeholders align to deliver a new corrosion protection technology.
