The facility is operated by Woodside Energy, with Bechtel managing the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and commissioning scope for the expansion project.
It is set to process gas from the Scarborough field and add around five million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) capacity.
Additional infrastructure is expected to increase the domestic gas output to around 225 terajoules per day.
EnerMech plans to mobilise the Pluto Train 2 contract this month.
