| Thiess Sedgman jv wins $186m CHPP contract The Thiess Sedgman Joint Venture (TSJV) has been awarded a $186 million contract to design and construct a Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) for Boggabri Coal Pty Ltd. The CHPP will support the expansion of Boggabri Coal's mining operation located in the Gunnedah Basin in New South Wales. Boggabri Coal is expanding the annual production to 6.9Mt. Thiess Managing Director Bruce Munro said the expansion is a big vote of confidence in the future of the coal sector by Boggabri Coal and its parent company Idemitsu Australia Resources. The contract has a direct value to Leighton Holdings Limited of $124 million through its wholly-owned subsidiary Thiess and its 33 per cent stake in Sedgman. Detailed design and procurement work is underway with the plant scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2015. The Boggabri open cut coal mine is located 17 kilometres north east of Boggabri in north-west NSW. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
