Sedgman says it has acquired project management and engineering company Onyx Projects, enhancing its growing Western Australia presence and offering to clients.

Onyx’s long-standing reputation, specialist technical capabilities and experience in the iron ore industry, paired with Sedgman’s minerals processing expertise, project delivery capability and experience, expands Sedgman’s service offering to clients from sustaining capital through to major greenfield development, it explained.

Onyx Projects will be re-named Sedgman Onyx and will operate as a part of Sedgman’s Australia West business unit.

Sedgman Managing Director, Grant Fraser, said: “We welcome the Onyx Projects people to the team and we’re looking forward to working with them. The addition of Onyx Projects to Sedgman will allow us to increase our offering while complementing Sedgman’s existing capabilities to provide our clients with a broader service offering.”

Onyx Projects Managing Director, Ian Beaumont, said: “In Sedgman, we are pleased to find a strategic partner that complements our current services, expands our capability and offers new opportunities to our personnel and our clients.”

Listed among the projects Onyx Projects has worked on are the likes of the Brockman 4 Camp, the West Angelas Deposit A Integrated Dewatering Project, the Koolyanobbing 11Mtpa Upgrades and the Murrin Murrin Nickel Cobalt Operation – Process Control System Services.

Sedgman and Onyx Projects will work through a transition process focused on the continuity of service to clients, Sedgman added.
