The main contract to build the $5.3-billion Oyu Tolgoi underground mine has been awarded to USA-based Jacobs Engineering, one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers of technical, professional and construction services. Jacobs will provide engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for the project and will be responsible for implementation of the materials handling systems and associated surface and underground infrastructure.
