Major Contract Award for Keller Australia
Keller Group plc ("the Group"), the international ground
engineering specialist, announces that its Australian business has
secured a key contract with Bechtel Australia Pty Ltd worth in
excess of A$180m (GBP120m). The contract is for the piling
installation for the Chevron-operated A$29bn (GBP19bn) Wheatstone
LNG Plant located at Onslow, Western Australia.
Work will be undertaken by the collective resources of Keller
Australia Group companies led by Frankipile. Included in the scope
of work is the procurement, installation and testing of
approximately 20,000 piles for the onshore main plant
facilities.
Keller Australia is committed to utilising its Australian-based
plant and management with any additional labour requirements
sourced locally, in accordance with the project specific training
plan.
The Wheatstone project involves the construction of two
liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains and domestic gas plant 12
kilometres west of the coastal town of Onslow. Gas will be
transported via a pipeline from an offshore processing platform 225
kilometres off the coast to the onshore facilities. First LNG
shipments are planned for 2016.
Preparatory work on this contract will begin immediately and is
expected to be completed in 2014.
Justin Atkinson, Keller Chief Executive, commented:
"Australia is one of our key growth markets and will continue to
offer excellent opportunities for Keller as major resource-related
projects, such as this, come to the market.
"Our Australian companies have a strong track record of
successful collaboration on large and complex contracts and we are
confident that this project will continue this track record. After
our initial preparatory works, full production will begin in late
2012, running through to mid-2014."
