“The award of this contract is a testament to our reputation for delivering customer-focussed engineering solutions and maintaining a high standard of safety and quality,” he said.

“We look forward to further developing our relationship with BHP over coming years, growing our operational footprint in the Pilbara and continuing to strengthen our long-term commitment to the region and the communities in which we operate.”
