CIMIC Group companies UGL and CPB Contractors were selected by TasWater to manage the delivery of its capital works program to support and develop Tasmania’s water and wastewater infrastructure and major regional water projects.
UGL, CPB Contractors and TasWater established an alliance to manage infrastructure planning, project development and delivery of capital works across TasWater’s regional asset network in Tasmania.
As part of the alliance, there is a strong commitment to utilising and building local capability and capacity by prioritising local business participation.
TasWater’s capital program includes works on water and wastewater treatment plants, water networks, dams and water storage, and general asset renewal programs.
The joint venture between CPB Contractors and UGL is expected to generate revenue for CIMIC Group of approximately $150 million per annum over an initial four-year period.
CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said: “Both CPB Contractors and UGL have successfully delivered a range of water projects in Australia for more than 50 years. We are really looking forward to bringing the CIMIC Group’s expertise to benefit Taswater and the people of Tasmania."
CPB Contractors acknowledged the Nuenonne people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the lands on which TasWaters Capital Works was delivered.
