Civmec wins work on NT pipeline

Henderson-based Civmec has been awarded contracts for work on the Jemena northern gas pipeline in the Northern Territory, which will employ 160 people at its peak.

The work, awarded by the pipeline’s builder and operator, Jemena, involves camp set-up, site civil, structural steel and fabrication, and structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation installation work at the Phillip Creek compressor station.

“The scope of work includes the establishment of a 200-man camp, site civil works involving underground services, earthworks, concrete works, fencing, while the SMPEI works involves installation of the gas treatment equipment, residue gas compressor packages, export gas compressor packages, control room, switch room, as well as various other components, Civmec said in a statement.

“With site civil works commenced and the SMPEI work scheduled to commence in late September, the project will require more than 160 personnel to be employed at its peak, with completion scheduled for August 2018.”

Chief executive Pat Tallon said the contract win was a significant and strategic award for Civmec.

“Combined with the scope growth at the Inpex project in Darwin, it will see an enlargement of our on-site capabilities within our oil and gas division and an expansion of our brand in the Northern Territory,” he said.

“We are delighted to secure Jemena as a new client and are very focused on ensuring that together we deliver these contracts safely and effectively.”

The value of the work wasn’t disclosed; however, Civmec said its order book, combined with today’s contract win, now stood at S$640 million ($A602 million).
