Forge Group Ltd (FGE) is pleased to advise that Clough Forge Pty Ltd has been awarded the Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) contract for the Port Materials Handling Facilities (Package 3), for Hancock Prospecting’s Roy Hill Iron Ore Project. The scope of work involves a detailed review of all preliminary and Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) documentation in a collaborative, open book approach with client Roy Hill Infrastructure, to assist with development of a final scope, schedule and contractual basis in order to deliver a price for the construction phase of the Package 3 works.
Clough Forge Pty Ltd is an incorporated 50/50 joint venture between Clough and Forge Group, formed to service Australian EPC projects in the mineral, oil and gas and infrastructure industries. By combining complementary strengths in engineering and construction, Clough Forge can offer Australian resource clients a multi-disciplined, vertically integrated EPC service.
“This is a strategically significant contract for Clough Forge” said Clough’s CEO John Smith. “Clough took a major shareholding in Forge in February 2010 with the vision of creating a partnership that enabled participation in major Australian EPC projects which would not be available to either company operating in isolation. Clough Forge combines Clough’s existing engineering-led EPC service with Forge’s complementary construction capabilities to achieve this vision and the Roy Hill Project provides the right opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of this partnership. We will work diligently with our valued client Roy Hill Infrastructure to deliver the best possible project outcomes for the ECI phase.”
Established in 1919, Clough delivers an integrated Engineering, Procurement and Construction service primarily to oil and gas projects in Australia, South East Asia and the USA. The Group’s services range from concept development through design, construction, installation, commissioning, operations and maintenance. Forge is a Western Australian based public company. Listed on the ASX in 2007, Forge has established operations in WA and West Africa, with more than 850 staff and a suite of major clients. Forge’s position in the market is as a low overhead engineer and constructor, with a large fleet of company owned plant and equipment, servicing a broad range of industry sectors and a diverse range of clients.
