Sedgman appointed to deliver $107M Woodlawn project in Australia

The CIMIC Group’s mineral processing subsidiary, Sedgman, has been awarded EPC contract by Heron Ressources Limited, an Australian exploration and mineral development company, to undertake the zinc-copper processing facility and associated infrastructure.

The zinc-copper crushing and processing facility is to be located in New South Wales, Australia, at the former Woodlawn Mine site.

Sedgman Managing Director Michael Carretta said: “We are pleased to be working with Heron Resources on one of the key Australian base metal projects. Leveraging both technical and commercial innovations, Sedgman has been able to add value for our client and differentiate ourselves in the market, further cementing our position as a leading resource sector EPC provider.”

The Woodlawn project includes civil, structural, mechanical, piping and commissioning works for the mineral processing plant. Works will start this year.

CIMIC Group CEO, Adolfo Valderas added: “The contract for this zinc-copper crushing and processing facility is a further example of CIMIC Group’s strategy to expand through diversifying by commodity or geography. The contract enhances Sedgman’s position as a global mineral specialist with a balanced commodity portfolio.”

The Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract signed with Heron Ressources Limited is estimated to yield around $107M to Sedgman over eighteen months.
