Macmahon awarded BHP contract
MACMAHON Holdings has been awarded a $A50 million contract for construction work on BHP Billiton Iron Ore’s Rapid Growth Project 5 at Port Hedland in Western Australia.
The Perth-based engineering contractor said the contract involved preliminary construction work to facilitate dredging at Finucane Island including seawall construction and new containment ponds for dredge material.
Macmahon chief executive Nick Bowen said the award of this contract demonstrates Macmahon’s strong position in the Pilbara iron ore region and its association with BHP Billiton’s Iron Ore expansion projects.
“We look forward to executing this important piece of work on RPG5 as BHP Billiton continues to expand its iron ore operations in the Pilbara,” he added.
Shares in Macmahon gained 0.5c to 53c in afternoon trade.
