Wood in 'landmark' Australian deal
ENERGY services giant Wood Group yesterday hailed a "landmark" deal with Australia's biggest gold miner that will earn the Aberdeen-based company a seven-figure sum over the next five years.
Wood Group's gas turbine division will maintain the equipment that powers Newcrest Mining's operations at Telfer in Western Australia. It includes three gas turbines and a back-up diesel generator.
Frank Avery, from Wood Group GTS, said: "This is a landmark contract in Australia and we are delighted to be the first non-original equipment manufacturer power contractor appointed by Newcrest. This is a result of our focus on the improvement of asset efficiency and reliability, through best practice operations and maintenance procedures applied at various facilities around the globe."
