GR wins Carosue Dam work
GR Engineering has secured a $17.9 million engineering design, procurement and construction contract for a paste backfill plant at Saracen Gold’s Carosue Dam operation in the WA Goldfields.
The contract involves process engineering, design, supply, construction and commissioning of the plant, which once completed will produce between 110 and 120 cubic metres of paste per hour to fill stopes in the Karari underground mine.
GR Engineering managing director Geoff Jones said works would begin immediately, with completion to occur in the second half of FY19.
“GR Engineering’s team has a historical involvement with Carosue Dam, initially in 2000 when the original processing facilities were commissioned,” Mr Jones said.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to continue our involvement with Carosue Dam and work with Saracen on the safe and successful delivery of the paste plant.”
In early August, GR Engineering also received an $8.3 million payout from Eastern Goldfields after it launched proceedings in the Supreme Court over a dispute relating to its Davyhurst processing plant contract.
