NRW awarded A$167m Brockman contract by Rio Tinto
NRW Civil & Mining, a division of ASX-listed NRW Holdings, has been awarded a A$167-million contract from Rio Tinto for work at the Brockman Syncline 1 (BS1) mine development, located within the Brockman mine hub in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Rio Tinto is investing $1.8-billion to develop the Brockman Syncline 1 mine project, which will extend the life of the Brockman region and sustain production from the company’s iron-ore operations. Rio Tinto has been mining iron-ore in the Pilbara for almost six decades.
BS1 is a large-scale investment within the Brockman region, which encompasses Brockman 4 and Greater Nammuldi. It will have capacity to process up to 34-million tonnes a year of iron-ore, leveraging existing plants.
First ore is scheduled for 2027, having previously been anticipated in 2028.
Under the contract, NRW will be responsible for the construction of earthworks, roadworks and drainage associated with the primary crusher, overland conveyor and non-process infrastructure, together with construction of haul roads, access roads and concrete structures.
The scope includes drill and blast along with supply and construction of the mechanically stabilised earth run-of-mine wall, two precast concrete overpass tunnels and in-situ concrete foundations for the primary crusher.
The contract is scheduled to start immediately with a peak workforce of more than 300 people.
NRW pointed out that the project was in close proximity to other NRW construction sites, including the Brockman 4 to Brockman 2 haul road contract and the recently completed Western Turner northern access road.
"NRW is pleased to be awarded this project with one of the world’s leading mining companies. This is another significant project that NRW will undertake for Rio Tinto and continues to build on the longstanding relationship of delivering successful projects together," stated NRW.
