CIMIC Group company, Leighton Asia, has been selected by NLEX Corporation to construct the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) Harbour Link Segment 10 – R10 Exit Ramp project in the Philippines.
Revenue to Leighton Asia, which is part of CIMIC Group construction company CPB Contractors, will be approximately A$140 million ($102.8 million). Advanced works have commenced, and the project is scheduled for completion in late 2019.
“Leighton Asia has been involved in the ongoing development of the NLEX infrastructure project since the first phase of construction in 1998,” said Michael Wright, CEO for CIMIC Group.
Construction works include a 1.6-mile dual, elevated tollway to link the existing NLEX Segment 10 Road to the R10 Road and provide a continuation of Harbour Link, as well as various ramps, roadworks, electrical and mechanical works and landscaping.
Leighton Asia’s Philippines business is also working with MPTC subsidiary MPCALA Holdings to build the 17.4-mile, four-lane Cavite Laguna Expressway.
CIMIC has been active throughout third quarter 2018. In July, CIMIC Group’s CPB Contractors, as part of Australia’s Rail Infrastructure Alliance (RIA), was named as the Victorian government’s preferred proponent to deliver a A$1 billion ($740 million) package of works in support of the A$11 billion ($8.16 billion) Metro Tunnel Project, and in August, CIMIC Group Limited’s mineral processing company, Sedgman, was awarded contracts by ASX-listed Resource Generation’s subsidiary Ledjadja Coal for the design, engineering procurement, construction, as well as the ongoing operations and maintenance at the Boikarabelo Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) in South Africa.
CIMIC Group Limited is an infrastructure, mining, services and public private partnerships group.
