Another contract was awarded by coal mining company QCoal to operate and maintain the Byerwen CHPP site at Glenden in Queensland. Valid for one year, the contract will accrue about A$25m ($17.99m) to Sedgman.

CIMIC Group CEO Michael Wright said: “Sedgman has a strong track record of reliably operating and maintaining CHPPs, and these further contract wins highlight the company’s strength in end to end mineral processing solutions.”

While the Mount Pleasant facility is expected to begin operations by the end of this year, the Byerwen CHPP is currently being commissioned.

“These further contract wins highlight the company’s strength in end to end mineral processing solutions.”
