CPB Contractors has been selected by Cadia Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Newcrest Mining Limited, to deliver enabling works for the Cadia Tailings Storage Facility Recommissioning Project.
The project, to be delivered in an alliance partnership with Cadia Holdings, will support the operation of the Cadia gold and copper mine, near Orange in the Central West of New South Wales.
CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said: “We are pleased to have the opportunity to apply our resources expertise to Australia’s largest gold mining operation.
“CPB Contractors will work collaboratively with Newcrest to achieve the project’s business goals while also ensuring the community’s expectations regarding environmental performance and outcomes are met.”
CPB Contractors Managing Director Jason Spears said: “With this alliance, CPB Contractors will be working in close partnership with Cadia Holdings to ensure that the project is safely delivered to schedule and budget and that all operational objectives are secured.”
CPB Contractors applied its extensive regional project expertise to maximise opportunities for cost-effective and efficient delivery. The project involved enabling works associated with the existing Cadia tailings storage facilities and ancillary works including haul roads and supporting facilities.
Work was completed in 2023.
CPB Contractors acknowledged the Wiradjuri People as the traditional owners of the land on which the Cadia Tailings Storage Facility is built and recognise their continuing connection to land and waterways.
