AMEC tabbed for PotashCorp Rocanville expansion

Saskatoon-AMEC PLC, the international engineering and project management company, has been awarded a new contract with Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc. at the Rocanville potash mine in Saskatchewan. The four-year contract for the provision of engineering and project management services will see a US$1.8 billion expansion of the mine, enabling the production of an additional two million mt/y of potash per year. This will be achieved through the engineering and project management for a new mill as well as expansion of the site’s utilities, storage and loadout facilities. “We are pleased to have again been chosen to help PotashCorp, the world’s largest potash provider,” said Bob Stanlake, president of AMEC’s Natural Resources Mining and Metals business. “Our commitment to PotashCorp began 40 years ago and our selection shows their trust in our expertise to execute this project and further enhance their lowest cost potash production facility.”
