These works have a total end value of about $280 million, evenly distributed between new works and project extensions.

Some of the contracts include a new facilities maintenance project with Anglo Coal at its German Creek Mine in Queensland; a new maintenance turnaround agreement at Orica’s Kooragang Island ammonium nitrate plant in New South Wales; a new coal handling preparation plant maintenance project for Wesfarmers Curragh mine in Queensland; a new three year mechanical and electrical maintenance agreement for BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) Blackwater mine in Queensland; among others.

UGL’s managing director and CEO, Richard Leupen, said  the company's resources business continues to secure a wide range of new projects as well as retaining its existing client base.

"We have again been successful in winning a large number of new maintenance style projects and contract extensions. This further strengthens and extends our recurring revenue streams," Mr Leupen said.
