Ausenco Rylson wins industry award for cost-saving work

Ausenco Rylson’s optimisation work on MMG’s Century Mine Project has been recognised with an award for Best Cost Saving Initiative at the Queensland Mining Contractors Awards.

The project, which achieved life-cycle plant cost savings of more than 17%, was recognised as ‘best in class’ by the award’s judges, who said the entry was a stand-out submission.

“The entrepreneurial approach adopted shows a contractor with the confidence to back their own performance, leading to significant and mutually beneficial outcomes for both the client and the contractor,” said awards judge Michael Gray.

Ausenco President APAC/Africa, Simon Cmrlec, said, “This award and the feedback we received from the judging panel signals we are leading the way in delivering innovative, cost-saving initiatives that deliver significant bottom-line value to our clients. We are delighted to be recognised by our industry peers with this award.”

The Queensland Mining Contractors Awards were held as part of the Queensland Mining Exhibition in Mackay and were attended by 500 industry participants.
