SKM partners with Adani to deliver Abbot Point coal port in Australia

Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) has been appointed by Adani Mining to provide engineering services for the development of the Abbot Point port expansion in Queensland. Abbot Point is Australia’s northern-most deepwater coal port and represents a key infrastructure component in the future development of coal mining in Queensland’s Galilee Basin. The expansion project includes a second 2.75 km approach jetty with associated approaches, roadways and conveyors creating two new berths. When complete in 2015, the new infrastructure will more than double the port’s existing capacity.
