The alliance participants include Abigroup, Pacific National, QR National and BG&E and the contract value to Abigroup is circa AU$100m (£65m). Abigroup’s role in the alliance is to deliver the civil infrastructure and provide overarching management.
Lend Lease group chief executive officer and managing director Steve McCann said that the contract expands the group’s infrastructure operations into Central Queensland and leverages Abigroup’s position in the rail market, which is a key growth sector for the business. “We are delighted to have secured this project after being selected by Pacific National as preferred constructor in 2010”, said McCann. “The increasing diversity of our client base further strengthens the Group’s position in our growth market of infrastructure.”
The project is due to be completed in June 2012.
