SRG wins $11.85m university contract

SRG Global has secured an $11.85 million contract for the University of Melbourne’s Lincoln Square project.

The project’s principal contractor, J Hutchinson, awarded SRG Global the supply, erection and reinforcement works of the entire structure.

The works specifically involve the installation of precast panels, post tensioning, structure reinforcement, and the construction of complex in-situ columns and walls, along with all other related concrete structure works.

The contract is scheduled to commence in the middle of this year.

Lincoln Square project is a 14-level tower which will provide accommodation for some of the 50,000 students that attend the University’s Parkville campus in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD.

SRG Global managing director David Macgeorge said the contract win was another clear example of the benefits being delivered through the creation of SRG Global as an engineering-led specialist construction, maintenance and mining services group operating across the entire asset life cycle.

“This contract again highlights the benefits of being able to provide the integrated packages our tier-one clients are increasingly looking for,” he said.

“We are pleased to be working alongside J Hutchinson to deliver this important education precinct for the Melbourne Community.”

On Tuesday, SRG Global announced it had secured an $18 million contract with Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM).

Less than a week prior to the KCGM announcement, the company revealed it had it won up to $115 million worth of drill-and-blast services contract extensions with Evolution Mining.

Shares in SRG Global were up 2.56 per cent to trade at 40 cents each at 11.50amAEDT.
