CITIC Pacific awards more electrical work to SCEE

Southern Cross Electrical Engineering (SCEE) has received more work at CITIC Pacific Mining’s Sino Iron project in Western Australia, being awarded an electrical maintenance services contract over a three-year term.

The award extends the company’s long-standing relationship with CITIC Pacific on the iron ore operation. In 2014, it won around A$80 million of electrical and instrumentation work across process lines three to six. This came after the company was initially contracted for work on the first concentrator area in 2011.

The latest contract award comes amid a flurry of activity for the electrical, instrumentation, communication and maintenance services company where it has secured A$50 million of contract awards in the commercial sector and framework agreements in both resources and telecommunications.

SCEE Managing Director Graeme Dunn said: “Combined with our announcement of the Westconnex contract last week, this range of projects demonstrates the sectoral and geographic diversity of the group with awards in four of the five sectors in which we operate and in the majority of the states and territories of Australia.”
