Brazil’s Vale has given the UK’s Kentz Corporation a follow-on contract for Phase 2 of the Moatize Coal Mining Project in Tete Province, one of the largest coal mining operations in Africa. Kentz was awarded the Phase 1 contract in 2009. Kentz’s Construction Business Unit will provide structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and piping construction services for the coal processing and handling plant, crusher, stackers, reclaimers and conveyors. Moatize is Vale’s biggest investment in Africa. Coal production started in July 2011, and the coal is carried along the Sena railroad to the port of Beira, from where it is shipped to export markets.
