Worley Wins the Biggest Job in K+S’s Bethune Potash Expansion

Worley awarded construction contract for K+S Bethune potash mine project

Worley Limited (ASX: WOR) has been awarded the construction contract by K+S Potash Canada GP to provide field construction services for the Compaction and Power Distribution Project at the Bethune potash mine in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The work will be delivered under a two-year contract.

Largest scope in K+S’s Ramp-Up Program

The project is part of K+S’s long-term Ramp-Up Program, which is increasing the Bethune mine’s production capacity to approximately four million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) by around 2040. The source describes the Compaction and Power Distribution Project as the single largest scope in the program, and fundamental to expanding mining and processing infrastructure essential to growth.

Resource sector expansion work is a wider theme for Worley, with the BHP copper EPCM mandate for Olympic Dam and Carrapateena showing the same mine-growth exposure in Australia, though the full project value there depends on final investment decisions still to come.

Worley will deliver field construction services for the Compaction building and the associated Power Distribution infrastructure, including:

• Field installation of structural, piping, architectural and mechanical equipment
• Electrical, instrumentation and control works

Management comment and local partnership

Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley, said the award reflects the company’s capability in complex infrastructure and power distribution delivery.
