This effectively classifies Mozal as the world's best project for 2001.

Murray & Roberts Engineering Solutions was the Murray & Roberts company that implemented the project within the joint venture for the client, BHP-Billiton, Mitsubishi, the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa and the Government of Mozambique.

Mozal was delivered six months ahead of the scheduled 31 months and more than US$100 million under the budget of US$1,3 billion, setting what is believed to be a world schedule record in the construction of a greenfields aluminium smelter. Based on this performance, the SNC-Lavalin Murray & Roberts joint venture was recently awarded the extension project at Mozal which will double the smelter's capacity to 500 000 tons per annum.

These achievements are evidence of Murray & Roberts' ability to deliver world class, innovative solutions to fulfil clients' expectations.
