Western Australia-based construction group Civmec Ltd. has secured more than AU$400 million worth of new contracts and extensions with miners.
Civmec signed a significant contract with BHP for the port debottlenecking project at Nelson Point, Port Hedland.
Civmec will deliver the concrete and earthworks for the installation of a sixth car dumper, which is also being manufactured by Civmec at its Henderson fabrication facility.
Civmec will be responsible for establishing a new batch plant to supply concrete designing and installing new piling for the sixth car dumper and managing all temporary works.
Civmec and BHP also agreed to a steel fabrication package, which consists of 700 tonnes of structural steel module including one shuttle, four maintenance gates and various other structures as part of the same package for the greater project.
Civmec CEO Patrick Tallon said: “We are absolutely delighted to be entrusted with this significant package of work.
“BHP were among our earliest clients and sustaining this healthy relationship makes this award especially meaningful, a further demonstration of our capabilities, and our proven, proactive and collaborative delivery model.”
Civmec also won a contract for the construction of light mobile equipment and support mobile equipment charger facilities and pit power infrastructure at Fortescue’s Eliwana and Flying Fish mine sites.
Civmec will construct, install, verify and commission multiple charger facilities, ranging from prefabricated DC distribution units to integrated AC chargers, along with civil works and electrical integration for transportable pit power substation.
These substations will support the rollout of electric excavators and drills, reinforcing Fortescue’s decarbonisation objectives.
