The scope of work includes the design and construction of a 1.2 kilometre jetty with operations platform, a product loading platform with a single LNG and condensate load out berth, and associated piping modules and piping installation. At peak, the contract will result in approximately 200 jobs, the majority of them in Australia. This includes 15 in the Pilbara region, 90 in Western Australia and 30 elsewhere in Australia. Engineering, procurement and planning work for the project will commence in February 2012 with construction activities on site scheduled to start third quarter 2013. The project is scheduled for completion in fourth quarter 2016.

Clough’s Chief Executive Officer Kevin Gallagher said “This contract represents significant growth for our near shore marine construction business, which was established with long-term partner BAM in 1964. Forty-eight years later we are still fully committed to this business. With major LNG and minerals projects requiring load out jetties and near shore marine infrastructure, we are seeing more near-term opportunities relating to the Australian resources boom than ever before”.

BCHT is a well-established technology company engaged in medical research and development, marketing and production, based in Jilin Province’s High Tech Zone. Established in 2004, the company now employs more than 600 employees and has developed significant in-house expertise in viral technology development with particular successes in the areas of influenza and preventative HIV vaccines.

BioDiem’s LAIV vaccine is based on a well-established vaccine type, where the virus has been weakened and simply presents the immune system with the proteins needed to establish immunity. BioDiem’s vaccine has the additional advantage of being delivered through a nasal spray, eliminating the need for injections, which increases patient acceptability and compliance. Furthermore, BioDiem’s LAIV vaccine has been shown to produce a broader immune response, more akin to the natural immune response, than standard flu shots delivered through injection.

BioDiem CEO Julie Phillips said “We are delighted to have secured another licence for our LAIV technology. BCHT is an experienced and well-regarded vaccine developer and producer. It has its own R&D and production facilities and marketed products. China is an exciting territory with an enormous potential market for influenza vaccines and we are pleased to enter it through our new partnership with BCHT for BioDiem’s LAIV technology.”
