Adani Enterprises has appointed Parsons Brinckerhoff as consultants to manage contract reviews for its A$7 billion ($6.2 billion) coal mine, rail and port project as it looks to start production by the end of 2017.
The consultant would provide quality control and audit services for engineering, procurement and construction contracts, in the latest sign Adani is trying to push ahead with a mine it originally aimed to open this year.
With coal prices at five-year low and up to a third of all Australian production running at a loss, much bigger companies than Adani, like BHP Billiton and Glencore, have shelved new coal projects in Australia. Adani earlier this year lined up South Korea´s POSCO Engineering & Construction Co to build the rail line for the Carmichael mine and bought out royalty rights on the coal from Linc Energy.
