Leading laboratory services provider Amdel Ltd is on track to complete a major expansion of its facilities in Adelaide, South Australia, where it is investing more than $A10 million in its new Wingfield laboratories.
The company’s chief executive officer Steve McAllister said the Wingfield complex would enable Amdel to meet the ever increasing demands of clients for a single laboratory to satisfy their entire mineral analysis requirements, from exploration, assaying, grade control and mineral processing solutions for process control and plant optimisation.
With completion scheduled for March 2008, the expansion would ensure Amdel continued to excel as a premier one-stopshop for minerals testing across the base metals, uranium, iron ore, gold, nickel, minerals sands and bauxite markets.
A centre of excellence
Amdel has been one of Australia’s leading laboratory service companies since 1960. It carefully selected the 16-hectare Wingfield site in mid-2006 as one which could host a world-class Centre of Excellence for the minerals and exploration markets, and accommodate future expansion. The laboratory complex design focused on the utilization of new techniques to create a highly energy and water efficient operational site.
Wingfield is a prime industrial estate 10km north-west of the Adelaide CBD with excellent access to major trucking and shipping corridors. Amdel was successful in October this year in being awarded under the Innovation and Investment Fund for South Australia (IIFSA) a $A1.84 million government grant for the expansion, which is seen to support sustainable job opportunities in South Australia.
