Aecon Group has been awarded approximately $100 million in key mining contracts, to be booked in the second quarter of 2014. It has been awarded a contract by K+S Potash Canada for work on the Legacy mining project in Saskatchewan for early cavern development. This involves mechanical, electrical, piping and instrumentation work. This work is expected to be complete in the last quarter of 2014.

Additionally, Aecon was awarded a contract by Lafarge Canada for the erection of a preheater tower, rotary kiln and cooler equipment for the Exshaw Expansion project in Alberta. The project involves structural, mechanical and civil work. Work will begin this month, with expected completion in the first quarter of 2015.
