Mining and civil services provider RTL has been awarded a five-year master services contract at AGL’s Loy Yang mine in the La Trobe Valley, Victoria, with the potential for two further two-year extensions.
In this contract, RTL will continue to provide rehabilitation works, civil and earth works at the Loy Yang mine, with the option for AGL to deploy RTL to other locations as required.
Thiess Group Executive Chair & CEO Michael Wright said: "This new contract continues RTL’s long-standing relationship with AGL, and is particularly significant given RTL’s involvement with the Loy Yang mine since 1992.
“As the Thiess Group continues to diversify its services, commodities and jurisdictions, it is critically important that our focus remains on delivering exceptional value for our clients. This contract win is a credit to the team and their focus.”
RTL General Manager Owen Cavanough said: “This contract award is testament to RTL’s 32-year track record of excellence in safe project delivery and sustainable practices at Loy Yang mine.
“We are proud to continue our presence on this site, supporting Loy Yang Power Station in generating the majority of Victoria’s base load power requirements, as well as being able to continue to deliver for AGL and Victorian communities.”
RTL is committed to the local community and is a significant employer in the Latrobe Valley and surrounding regions.
