We are pleased to announce the execution of our contract between TasRail and COVA Haywards, for the Burnie BMEF Shiploader replacement.
This is a culmination of 375 days of concept designing, tendering, presentations, and negotiations. With a pre-contract cost of almost $1m, the execution of the contract is a significant milestone. The following quote from our Group Managing Director, Ben Evans sums up the sentiment and importance of this project to both COVA and the Tasmanian heavy construction community:
“COVA Haywards are excited to be partnering with TasRail to complete the new BMEF Shiploader Replacement, which will ensure the long-term security of minerals exports for Tasmania. We are also appreciative of the trust by both the Federal Government and TasRail in awarding the contract to a Tasmanian company utilising Tasmanian contractors. This level of trust and support enables all the businesses involved to train more apprentices and trainees and underpins a number of businesses over the life of the project.”
We all look forward to regular updates as the project progresses to completion in June 2023.
