Thiess extends joint operating agreement with explosives partner AECI to 2030
Thiess has extended its joint operating agreement with global explosives leader AECI through to December 2030, supporting blasting services and product supply at Lake Vermont, Olive Downs Complex and Mount Pleasant and reinforcing a long-standing partnership built on safety, reliability and operational excellence.
Thiess Group Executive – Australia East Rae O’Brien said Thiess works closely with specialist suppliers to deliver fit-for-purpose solutions for clients.
“Thiess takes a strategic approach to supplier partnerships, working with specialist providers such as AECI to deliver tailored blasting solutions aligned to site-specific geological conditions and production requirements. This collaboration optimises blast design, improves predictability in blasted ground response and enables safe, consistent and efficient operations.”
Thiess has partnered with AECI at operations in Australia since 2015, building on successful collaboration in Indonesia and the subsequent global expansion of the relationship.
The partnership combines AECI’s expertise in explosives and initiating systems with Thiess’ large-scale operational capability to improve blast performance, strengthen safety systems and manage complex ground conditions. These capabilities also enable greater scheduling flexibility while maintaining performance and reducing explosive requirements.
The extended agreement will continue to deliver improved blast efficiency and fragmentation control, enhanced safety outcomes and stable supply chain continuity.
AECI’s Executive Vice President – Mining Stuart Miller said “We’re proud of the partnership we’ve built with Thiess over the past 12 years. It’s grounded in trust and a shared focus on safety, reliability and innovation, and this extension reflects the strength of the partnership and AECI’s ongoing commitment to supporting safe, consistent and efficient mining operations.”
The extension reflects a shared commitment to safety, performance and long-term value, supporting efficient and sustainable mining operations.
