JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Engineering and Construction group Kentz has been awarded the second phase of Brazil mining company Vale’s Moatize coal processing plant, located at the company’s Moatize coal mine, in Tete, Mozambique.
Kentz was awarded Phase 1 of this project in 2009, which subsequently became its flagship project, including significant infrastructure developments necessary for the production of coal products in Mozambique.
During Phase 2 of the project, Kentz’s construction business unit would be responsible for providing all structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and piping construction services associated with the coal processing and handling plant, crusher, stackers, reclaimers and conveyors.
“Kentz has a long-standing relationship with Vale Mozambique and winning the contract for the Moatize expansion is a great achievement. [Being] awarded this strategic project shows the confidence Vale has in Kentz for delivering projects in Mozambique,” Kentz Africa regional MD Carl Dryer commented.
