John Holland Secures Subcontract for Australia Pacific LNG Jetty

John Holland today announced it has been awarded a marine subcontract worth in excess of $100 million which forms part of the works for Australia Pacific LNG’s proposed Curtis Island LNG facility.

Under the subcontract, to be delivered for Australia Pacific LNG’s EPC contractor Bechtel Australia Pty Ltd, John Holland will design and construct a new product loading facility comprising a 168-metre jetty and loading platform.

Included in the contract scope is the procurement, fabrication, construction and commissioning of the structural, mechanical and electrical components of the combined Marine Facilities.

John Holland Group Managing Director, Glenn Palin, said: “Today’s announcement builds on our long history delivering large-scale marine infrastructure works in the energy and resources sector. More broadly, this award consolidates our strategic push into the LNG sector.”

General Manager of John Holland’s Minerals & Industrial business, David Balmer, said: “Today’s award builds on our existing relationship with Bechtel Australia and underscores our industry leading position in the delivery of major marine infrastructure for projects in the resources sector; we look forward to the continued relationship with our client toward the successful completion of this project.”

Work recently awarded to John Holland in the energy and resources sector includes the ongoing delivery of Rio Tinto’s Cape Lambert Port B project in Western Australia. Recently completed major marine infrastructure projects across Australia include expansion works at the Abbot Point Coal Terminal in Bowen, Queensland and the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal in Mackay, Queensland.

Construction of the new Marine Facility will commence in May 2012 with completion expected in 2014.
