Clough’s collapse leaves more than $8bn in projects in limbo

More than $8-billion worth of gas, power, rail and mining projects across Australia, Mongolia and Papua New Guinea face delays following the collapse of engineering firm Clough on Monday. Projects that could be hit include the expansion of the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia, run by Rio Tinto, and major power plant and transmission projects essential to maintaining a stable grid in Australia from 2023.
