The $200-million Devil Creek Development Project near Karratha in Western Australia, where <strong>John</strong> <strong>Holland</strong> is delivering an onshore<br />
plant and pipeline<br />
The formation of the Energy & Resources<br />
business stream in <strong>2011</strong> illustrates <strong>John</strong><br />
<strong>Holland</strong>’s increasing focus on this fast<br />
growing and exciting market sector. In <strong>2011</strong>,<br />
the business stream contributed a growing<br />
portion of <strong>John</strong> <strong>Holland</strong>’s revenue, with the<br />
four businesses together securing work in<br />
hand of $1.6 billion—an outstanding 102%<br />
improvement over the previous year.<br />
Each one of the businesses—Water & Enviro, Energy, Mining<br />
and Minerals & Industrial—has achieved a number of impressive<br />
project delivery goals during the year.<br />
Our Water & Enviro business maintains its leadership position<br />
in the public sector water market in Australia. During the year,<br />
the business also pursued a geographic diversification strategy,<br />
continuing its pursuit of international projects. This strategy was<br />
successful in winning a key waste treatment facility in Hong Kong.<br />
The business aggressively pursued new opportunities for providing<br />
water treatment and distribution solutions to the expanding mining<br />
and oil and gas sectors.<br />
Water & Enviro also focused its efforts particularly in the<br />
environment sector, by building new business opportunities,<br />
services offerings and technology solutions. These efforts were<br />
rewarded with the award of our first work extending our water<br />
process capability into the renewable technologies sector<br />
for Aurora Algae. <strong>John</strong> <strong>Holland</strong>, in partnership with MWH,<br />
is working towards finalising the design and construction<br />
of the largest commercial-scale photosynthetic algae facility<br />
in the world in Western Australia.<br />
From a performance perspective, Water & Enviro achieved a<br />
number of project milestones throughout the year. Significant<br />
progress has been made in the Priority Sewerage Program with<br />
the completion of schemes servicing seven towns at the base<br />
of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales. Elsewhere, Water &<br />
Enviro successfully completed the Murrumba Downs Wastewater<br />
Treatment Plant upgrade in Queensland and construction works<br />
on the Mardi to Mangrove pipeline in New South Wales.<br />
Major highlights for the Water & Enviro business in <strong>2011</strong> include<br />
the award of several new contracts. In Hong Kong, the business<br />
won the $660-million contract to design and construct a new<br />
waste treatment facility, in joint venture with <strong>Leighton</strong> Asia and<br />
Veolia Water. In New South Wales, <strong>John</strong> <strong>Holland</strong> was appointed<br />
to the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Program Alliance and was awarded<br />
the contract to construct new infrastructure for Sydney Water at<br />
Hoxton Park and Warriewood.<br />
The Energy business continues to build on our oil and gas<br />
capability. The business has focused its activities on further<br />
positioning <strong>John</strong> <strong>Holland</strong> in the growing domestic gas, export<br />
LNG and petrochemical sectors. Since embarking on its<br />
diversification strategy, <strong>John</strong> <strong>Holland</strong> has been successful in<br />
