Ann: Optimised Delivery Strategy for Mount Peake, page-26

Although many aren't happy with the announcement or the numbers, one positive takeaway for me is to see them put funds back into 'contingency'. Whether this is just finance or in plant design would be good to know. All too often projects are about pushing the cost down and reducing timelines, which is great on paper, but in practice means blow-outs in construction and commissioning, greater teething problems in plant run up to nameplate and reduced reliability/higher running costs. ALWAYS well over and above the savings touted on the lead up to FID.
