Infracon was contracted by Anglo-American to complete the water management portion of their Roman Pit Expansion. Time lines were very tight on the project and there were significant liquidated damages for late completion and a bonus structure for completing early. Infracon achieved early completion bonuses by mobilizing a large fleet of equipment, including excavators (Cat 390, JD 800, 3 x 470’s, 4x 350, 1 x 200), dozers (3 x 850K, 2 x D8T), rock trucks (7 x 40 Tonne, 4 x 30 Tonne) a JD824K loader, a JD 772 grader and multiple packers and support equipment.
