PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Indian major Adani has awarded a civil construction works contract worth more than A$350-million for the Carmichael rail network, in Queensland.

Adani Mining CEO Lucas Dow said the construction contract would see Queensland-based BMD deliver civil works for construction of the rail network.

“BMD is a proud Queensland company and we’re thrilled to have them on board and delivering the largest package of works awarded on our project. As people will already know, BMD has operated in North Queensland for more than 25 years, with Townsville forming their regional base for delivery of this contract.”

The civil components of the BMD contract include the delivery of earthworks, drainage, bridges, rail camp construction and associated road upgrades.

The work is expected to result in 600 jobs.

Dow said that with the latest contract, the total value of contracts awarded for the Carmichael project has now reached over A$1-billion.

“Construction of Adani’s Carmichael mine and rail project is continuing with strict measures in place to manage the risk of the Covid-19 virus. We are following all advice from Queensland Health and the federal government and doing all we can to keep our people and the community safe.”

Some 200-km of rail track will be constructed for the project, and in total, the rail works for the project would include over 460 culverts, 17 bridges over waterways, two road over rail bridges, 68 railway crossings and local road upgrades.
