Macmahon wins A$900m contract extension at Byerwen
Mining and civil infrastructure contractor Macmahon on Thursday announced that it had been awarded a three-year extension at the Byerwen coking coal mine in Queensland’s Bowen basin.
Macmahon has been providing opencut mining services, including load and haul, and crusher feed, at Byerwen since the establishment of the mine in 2017 and provides employment to more than 800 people on site.
The mine is owned by a joint venture between QCoal Group and Japanese steel manufacturer, JFE Steel.
Macmahon said the contract extension would add about A$900-million to Macmahon’s secured orderbook.
As Macmahon already has its people and mining fleet deployed and operating at Byerwen, no new capital expenditure is required beyond the sustaining capital budgets.
“The QCoal relationship and Byerwen project have been key to the Macmahon business stabilising over the last eight years. The teams are grateful and excited that they will have the opportunity to continue to develop that relationship on site and corporately,” said MD and CEO Michael Finnegan.
