ASX Company News: Sedgman Secures Contract To Construct Coal Handling Plant

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Leading resource sector services company Sedgman Limited (SDM) announced the Thiess Sedgman Joint Venture (TSJV) has been awarded a $145 million contract to expand the Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) at Lake Vermont mine in central Queensland.

The TSJV contract is to design, procure, construct and commission an expansion of the CHPP on behalf of Lake Vermont Resources Pty Limited (LVR). The mine is located about 18 kilometres north east of Dysart in Central Queensland. The upgraded CHPP is required to produce up to 4 million tonnes of additional product coal per annum, utilising LVR’s existing train load out system. The product coal, all metallurgical, will be predominately hard coking coal with the balance PCI. TSJV designed and constructed the original Lake Vermont mine CHPP, which was commissioned in March 2009. The project team completed the project on time and met all client requirements despite encountering wet weather delays. The timely completion of the project to budget and performance requirements was also significant given the strong market demands for project services experienced at the time.

LVR operates the mine on behalf of the Lake Vermont Joint Venture, an unincorporated joint venture between Jellinbah Group (70%), Marubeni Coal Pty Limited (10%), CHR Vermont Pty Limited (10%) and Coranar (Australia) Pty Limited (10%).

Sedgman Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Nick Jukes said Sedgman was very pleased to secure the contract for the CHPP expansion and looks forward to working within the TSJV to deliver another successful outcome for LVR. “Sedgman is the market leader in the design, construction and operation of CHPPs. We look forward to building on our past successes at the Lake Vermont mine with the execution of a project that is on time, on budget, and achieves all our client’s objectives,” Mr Jukes said.

Sedgman Secures $80 million Mining Contract

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Leading resource sector services company Sedgman Limited (SDM) has today signed a construction contract worth approximately $80 million for the Benga coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) in Mozambique. This new contract takes the total value of Benga project work awarded to the Company to more than $143 million. The Benga project is being developed by Riversdale Mining Ltd (RIV) and its partner Tata Steel Limited in Mozambique’s Moatize basin through their jointly owned entity,  Riversdale Mozambique Limitada (RML). Sedgman’s scope of works relates to the US$270 million first stage of the Benga project and is being delivered by Sedgman Australia, Sedgman South Africa and Sedgman Mozambique. Stage 1 entails processing 5.3 million ROM tonnes per year to produce approximately 1.7Mtpa of high quality hard coking coal and 0.3Mtpa of export thermal coal.

Sedgman’s Managing Director Mark Read said the Company was pleased to have finalized the last contractual element for stage 1 of the Benga CHPP project and looked forward to developing a long-term relationship with RML. “We are committed to delivering this CHPP to specification, on time and on budget and look forward to providing our full scope of services to RML,” Mr Read said. Mr Read said the award of the Benga contracts acknowledged the extent of Sedgman’s leadership in minerals processing and materials handling technologies. “Importantly, this new contract follows on from the $150 million of EPC contracts won by Sedgman’s Coal division in the past three months, and the award to the Metals division of an EPC contract for Discovery Metals’ Boseto Copper project in Botswana which is potentially worth US$85 million,” Mr Read said.

Sedgman Secures $50 million NSW Coal Contract

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Sedgman Limited (SDM) confirmed it has signed a contract exceeding $50 million to Engineer, Procure and Construct (EPC) a new Coal Handling and Preparation Plant (CHPP) at the Narrabri North coal mine in New South Wales.  The mine, located 28km south of the NSW town of Narrabri, is owned by Narrabri Coal Operations Pty Ltd (NCO) – a joint venture company in which listed Australian coal miner Whitehaven Coal Limited (ASX Code: WHC) has a 70 per cent operating interest.  The new CHPP is part of NCO’s Stage Two longwall mining development plan to lift production to 6 million tonnes a year to produce Thermal and PCI coals.

Sedgman’s Managing Director Mark Read said the contract win was particularly significant given the competitive tender process involved and reinforced Sedgman’s track record in competitively delivering coal projects within the key New South Wales market.  “The award of the contract was due in part to Sedgman’s approach to safety and the environment, design innovation and project execution record,” Mr Read said.  “We are now looking forward to delivering this CHPP project on time and on budget and developing a long term client relationship with Whitehaven Coal and its joint venture partners in the Narrabri North mine.”

The new CHPP facility will include reclamation capacity of 1,000 tonnes per hour of coal from the existing raw coal stockpile, a rotary breaker, a dry screening process, dense media bath and a PCI coal processing circuit.

Mr Read said winning the new Narrabri North CHPP contract further supported Sedgman’s positive earnings outlook for FY2011 and beyond as global business conditions improved.  “We expect to continue to grow our order book and capitalise on the increasing number of project opportunities both in Australia and abroad,” he said.

Sedgman is recognised internationally for its coal processing and materials handling technologies and is currently focused on a $5.5 billion global pipeline of targeted project opportunities in coal and metals.”

Sedgman Secures $48 million Construction Contract

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Leading resource sector services company Sedgman Limited (SDM) has today secured a $48 million construction contact for the upgrade of Xstrata Coal’s ATCOM coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP) at Witbank near Johannesburg. The upgrade is part of Xstrata Coal’s $US407 million ATCOM East Project and is being delivered by Sedgman Limited and Sedgman South Africa (Pty) Ltd under a staged, tripartite contract with Xstrata South Africa (Pty) Ltd (XCSA). This new contract follows on from the $75 million design and supply contract announced by Sedgman on 19 November 2009, taking the total value of work awarded to the Company on the ATCOM upgrade project to $123 million.

Sedgman’s Managing Director Mark Read said Xstrata Coal was targeting project completion by the end of calendar 2010. “Securing this construction contract on top of the engineering and procurement contract has really cemented the opportunity for Sedgman to showcase its technology leadership, innovation and commitment to excellence in this new market and to drive the future growth of our business there,” Mr Read said. “It also confirms the depth of the international relationships we have established with global resource companies such as Xstrata Coal.”  Mr Read said Sedgman had also been engaged to undertake a feasibility study for a new coal mine project in Mozambique’s emerging, world-class Moatize Basin which has attracted the attention of the world’s leading resource companies.

“Sedgman has already been working with Brazilian mining house Vale on its multi-billion dollar Moatize coal project in Mozambique and Riversdale Mining’s nearby Benga coal project,” Mr Read said. “This new study is for one of several regional projects in the Company’s project pipeline which  would largely be delivered through Sedgman South Africa’s expanding operations in Johannesburg where almost 30 staff are now based,” Mr Read said.
