Abigroup awarded new rail contract
Moolarben Coal has awarded Abigroup the contract to construct a new rail
loop at its Moolarben Coal Project 40km north-east of Mudgee.
Abigroup’s scope of works under the contract include the supply and
installation of ballast, sleepers and rail for rail loading facilities on site.
“This contract is the latest in a series of rail and mining infrastructure
projects Abigroup has undertaken,” said Abigroup’s NSW Engineering
Manager Sam Turnbull. “On the back of successful projects undertaken in
the NSW Hunter Valley, rail is proving an area of opportunity and growth
for the business in NSW.”
In 2008 Abigroup successfully delivered the Antiene Rail Coal Unloader for
Macquarie Generation in the Hunter Valley and is currently undertaking
three packages of works for the Kooragang Coal Export Terminal in
Newcastle.
