The contract marks the start of the on-ground works of HPH’s $500 million investment for the development of a new container terminal.
Laing O’Rourke will construct a $150 million civil and rail infrastructure package, representing the first phase of the newly reclaimed Botany Bay expansion.
Work for the Port Botany project includes the provision of rigid pavement using onsite concrete batching, high voltage substations and structural support for the heavy duty quay and stacking crane systems.
The contract also includes rail sidings, drainage and ground improvements.
Laing O’Rourke infrastructure south general manager Paul McNerney welcomed the news and said the company looked forward to working with HPH to deliver the project.
“Port Botany is the country’s second largest port and a key part of the Australian economy and we’re proud to be part of its bright future,” he said.
The terminal is scheduled to begin operations in 2013.
