CIMIC Group’s mineral processing company, Sedgman, has been awarded a contract at the Byerwen Coal Mine in Central Queensland, Australia, continuing CIMIC Group’s long-standing relationship with QCoal Group. The Byerwen mine site is located 12.4 miles west of Glenden in Queensland’s Bowen Basin.
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract will deliver an expansion on the first phase of the project, which Sedgman was awarded in February 2018, and includes the duplication of the existing coal handling and processing plant.
The contract will generate revenue of $155 million for CIMIC Group.
CIMIC Group CEO Michael Wright said, “The CIMIC Group has a long-standing and successful relationship with QCoal which started in 2007, providing EPC services through Sedgman and mining services through Thiess.”
Early work has commenced, and the project will conclude in early 2020.
CIMIC Group Limited is an infrastructure, mining, services and public-private partnerships group.
