The Ichtyhys onshore facilities civil works contract has today been won by a 50/50 joint venture between John Holland and MacMahon Holdings Ltd. The $340 million site development contract has been awarded by the JKC Joint venture (JGC Corporation, KBR, Chiyoda Corporation) for the onshore facilities of the LNG project near Darwin in the Northern Territory.
The construction will include access roads, earthworks, drainage and ground improvement works required for the establishment of the landmark project.
John Holland Group Managing Director, Glenn Palin, said: “Today’s award reflects the diversity of John Holland and our ability to deliver a vast range of works across the energy and resources sector, from site preparation through to design, delivery and commissioning works.”
He continued, “The contract builds on our strategy of aligning closely with major EPC contractors on approved projects in the oil and gas sector, offering safe and reliable contracting solutions to both the upstream and downstream components of these important projects.”
Gavin Stubbs, General Manager of John Holland’s Northern Region business, said: “John Holland has a long history in Darwin and a record of working closely with local suppliers in the delivery of major construction works.
We look forward to using our local knowledge and experience in the resources sector to deliver long-term employment and economic benefits for the people of the Northern Territory.”
Works are to commence in April 2012 and completion of site development is scheduled for mid 2014.
