Los Angeles-based AECOM Technology Corp. has been awarded a three-year, $30 million contract for up to 15 separate infrastructure projects in and around Cape Town, Saldanha and Postmasburg, South Africa.

The work will include engineering, procurement, construction management and project-close-out services, the company announced today.

Proposed projects include rail and material-handling infrastructure for a new railroad car rotary dumper in Saldanha; expansion of the container terminal in the Port of Cape Town; new iron ore train-loading facilities at Postmasburg; fire-suppression system upgrades at various locations; resurfacing of various berths in the Port of Cape Town; new-build port buildings; and numerous building upgrades and expansions.

Each of the projects has a construction value of up to $150 million, or a total construction value of approximately $2.2 billion, and AECOM estimates its fees on the projects to total up to approximately $30 million, the company said in a press release.

AECOM teams from Africa, Australia and North America are collaborating to deliver the projects for Transnet SOC Ltd., a South African state-owned company responsible for freight rail, port, fuel pipelines and other major infrastructure improvements.
