Adani Australia has awarded a contract of more than $82 million to supply concrete sleepers from Rockhampton for the Carmichael Coal mine project’s rail line.
Austrak will supply more than 730,000 concrete sleepers for the construction of Adani’s 388km standard gauge rail line from the mine in central western Queensland to the company’s bulk coal handling port at Abbot Point near Bowen.
Member for Rockhampton and Minister for Rural Economic Development, Bill Byrne, said, “Adani advise this contract will mean Austrak will triple its workforce to more than 80 and generate up to 30 supply chain jobs, and provide job security for the two-year life of the contract.”
