Sedgman secures $30M contract

Sedgman said the contract was for the procurement of long-lead items for the Maules Creek project in the Gunnedah Basin in New South Wales.

This announcement followed Sedgman’s news last month of being awarded the $18.5 million design contract for a coal handling preparation plant at Maules Creek.

The company’s managing director and chief executive officer Nick Jukes said he was pleased to strengthen Sedgman’s relationship with Aston.

Jukes added the design for the CHPP has reached a stage that allows Maules Creek Coal to place orders for key long-lead items to ensure the project timetable remains on target.

“This has allowed us to reach [an] agreement on this second contract and to continue our negotiations in relation to an overall contract relating to further, more extensive work at Maules Creek,” he said.

“We would anticipate moving ahead with these negotiations in line with Aston’s plans to commence operations at Maules Creek in late 2012.”

Aston said the mine at full output would hit 13 million tonnes per annum run-of-mine, producing a mix of thermal, semi-soft coking and pulverised coal injection coal.

The Maules Creek project holds 610 million tonnes of resources and is aiming for a mine life of 21 years.
