KBR Awarded Project Management Services Contract for Australia’s largest undeveloped copper project
02 November 2017
KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) announced today it has been awarded a contract by
OZ Minerals for
project management services for the development of its
Carrapateena copper-gold project located in
South Australia.
Under the contract, KBR will provide professional services for the
execution phase of the project as part of an integrated project team.
KBR had previously been supporting OZ Minerals to finalize its early
contractor involvement strategy and associated feasibility study
activities.
"We are excited to be working with OZ Minerals on the Carrapateena
mine
development to progress Australia's largest undeveloped copper project,"
said Greg Conlon, President Asia Pacific. "With an operating life of at
least 20 years, Carrapateena represents a major growth opportunity for
South Australia with around 1,000
jobs created from construction through
to production and longer term business and employment opportunities for
communities in the region."
"KBR brings decades of global project management experience to
Carrapateena and we look forward to continuing our involvement in this
landmark project," added Conlon.
Expected revenue from the contract will be included in KBR's fourth
quarter 2017 backlog of unfilled orders for its Engineering &
Construction business line.
