Clough, in a joint venture with Curtain (CCJV), completed the contract for the Upstream Infrastructure Works associated with the PNG LNG project. The Upstream Infrastructure Project involved the upgrade of critical infrastructure for ExxonMobil’s PNG LNG Project, encompassing multiple work fronts from the river port at Kopi to Hides in the Southern Highlands and Hela Provinces, and the Port of Lae on the East Coast. 

The location of the project presented many challenges including a large geographic spread of work and rugged, mountainous terrain, making logistics and communications difficult. 

The project involved the construction of roads, bridges, wharves, laydown and camp areas and other critical infrastructure. 

The project included works surrounding the Highlands Highway as well as all southern areas including the construction of two wharves and laydown area at Kopi, site works for the Gas Conditioning Plant and associated access roads and wellpads at Hides and to remain on site at Hides to undertake works in relation to the gas pipelines and additional wellpads.
