CIMIC Group’s services company, UGL, has been awarded new rail and mining services contracts across Australia, generating combined revenues of approximately A$260 million.

CIMIC Group Chief Executive Officer Michael Wright said that CIMIC Group’s end-to-end capability offered through the Operating Companies enabled CIMIC to provide seamless, whole-of-life solutions for the company’s infrastructure and resources clients.

“UGL’s expertise and proven performance continues to result in new projects and contract extensions, reflecting our clients’ ongoing trust in our experience and solutions,” commented Mr Wright.

In the rail sector, UGL has secured additional work in operations and maintenance, and manufacturing services.

As a member of the RailConnect NSW joint venture, UGL has been awarded a contract extension by Transport for NSW to increase the size of the New Intercity Fleet. The joint venture will now build and maintain additional passenger cars, increasing the total New Intercity Fleet to more than 550 carriages, with maintenance services to be provided for 15 years from the first train delivery.

Additionally, UGL’s expertise as a leading manufacturer of locomotives and rolling stock has resulted in a contract to build four new diesel locomotives for Pacific National.

In the mining services sector, UGL has been awarded contracts, of up to three years, to deliver multi-disciplinary services including mechanical and piping, electrical and instrumentation, painting and insulation services.

UGL Managing Director Jason Spears said that the company was extremely pleased to be recognised as a trusted and established partner to its clients in the rail and mining services sectors.

“These contracts reflect our strong ongoing relationships, and our reputation for the delivery of outcomes focused on safety, quality, technical innovation and expertise, and reliability.”
