These are in addition to contracts we announced earlier this year at our Broomehill, Lake Grace, Gairdner, Cranbrook, McLevie and Dowerin West receival sites, and will combine to add more than 800,000 tonnes of new permanent storage to our network.
The network strategy provides a clear plan for the future. By focusing maintenance and capital investment on the core 100 sites that receive over 90% of the annual crop, we can realise cost savings, gain efficiencies and deliver more tonnes to port when it's needed.
The CBH Group continues to deliver the Network Strategy expansion projects at an elevated pace, with major contracts awarded at a number of key receival sites across the state.
Contracts have been awarded to Western Australian contractors WCP Civil, Georgiou Group, WBHO Infrastructure and Valmec for the delivery of a combined total of more than 800,000 tonnes of new permanent storage, along with improvements to key infrastructure to enhance site efficiencies.
The scope of works at the respective sites include civils and structural (includes earthworks and roadworks), mechanical and electrical works.
The contractor’s respective receival sites are:
WCP Civil - Broomehill, Lake Grace and Gairdner
Georgiou Group - Cranbrook and Dulyalbin
WBHO Infrastructure - McLevie and Dowerin West
