Sedgman wins order for Daunia coal mine CHPP

Thursday, 01 Sep 2011

Sedgman has been awarded a AUD 123 million Coal Handling and Preparation Plant design and construct contract at Queensland’s Daunia mine. The contract is the second, and larger, contract Sedgman has been awarded for CHPP work at the mine, located in the Bowen Basin.

In 2008, Sedgman announced its first contract for the CHPP, a AUD 80 million design and supply agreement. This follows Sedgman’s on from the agreement of a four-year preferred supplier agreement for a pipeline of coal projects managed through BHP Billiton’s Project Hub in Brisbane.

Mr Nick Jukes MD and CEO of Sedgman said that Sedgman was extremely pleased to further strengthen its relationship with BMA. He said that “The Daunia project is a very significant project for Sedgman and is an excellent example of the strong and extensive working relationships we have with leading coal producers. This will be another contract to be managed through the Hub which supports our view that the four-year Hub agreement is an important milestone for Sedgman, giving us new opportunities to strengthen our position as a leading coal plant service provider.”

Sedgman will provide design and procurement services in connection with the Mine’s revised site layout and will construct and commission the entire CHPP.

The Daunia CHPP comprises an 800 t/h ROM receival and sizing facility, an 800 t/h CPP, reject handling and bin, tailings filter station, product conveyors, radial product stacking conveyors and a product reclaim and train loadout system.

Sedgman also recently announced the supply of services to two coal projects in Queensland’s Bowen Basin - Caval Ridge mine and South Walker Creek mine. Jukes said Sedgman would release further details of these orders as they become available. He said the preferred supplier agreement was an important milestone for Sedgman.

Under the four-year agreement, in place until June 2015, Sedgman is the preferred supplier for Definition, Engineering, Construction & Commissioning Support and Testing services for projects that involve the processing of metallurgical coal. Sedgman will be paid based on compensation principles that will include technology fees.

Flood risk shuts Port of Brisbane

Brisbane (Energy Publishing) - 11, Jan.2011

In yet another blow to the coal industry, the Port of Brisbane was shut today as the city began to prepare for the possibility of flooding in the CBD.
With Brisbane’s Wivenhoe Dam overflowing and an imminent King Tide expected, a massive flow of water is surging down the Brisbane River, currently flowing out at more than 3 knots at the port. This has made it dangerous for ships to load and all ships were ordered out to sea.
Brisbane port coal terminal services south-east Queensland mines, predominantly the thermal mines of New Hope (see earlier story today) which also owns the terminal. Roughly 10Mtpa is exported from the port.

Meanwhile, businesses in the centre of town began sending employees home around mid-morning.
