North American Construction Group Secures Major $2 Billion Contract
Significant Contract Extension Announced by NACG
North American Construction Group Ltd. (NOA) is excited to share that their subsidiary, the MacKellar Group, has been awarded a remarkable five-year contract, valued at $2.0 billion. This contract, received from a leading coal producer in Queensland, Australia, marks a pivotal development in the company’s business trajectory.
Details of the Contract
The contract extension will remain effective until April 30, 2030, and it signifies a substantial backlog for NACG, increasing by $800 million compared to the previous contract. This contract embodies risk and reward mechanics, strategically aligning NACG with the producer to ensure effective operations. It is important to note that the backlog values are primarily based on the mine's existing run-rate and do not account for additional growth capital.
Record-Breaking Backlog Levels
With this new contract in place, NACG’s total contractual backlog has now reached approximately $4.0 billion, as of the end of March 2025, representing a significant jump from the $3.2 billion reflected in their first-quarter MD&A report for 2025. This surpasses the previous record of $3.5 billion achieved by the company, showcasing their continued growth and market strength.
Positive Outlook from Company Leaders
Joe Lambert, the President and CEO of NACG, expressed excitement stating, "The signing of the largest contract in our history reflects our consistent execution and the trusted partnerships we’ve built over the years.
