Australian engineer Monadelphous has won Rio Tinto’s nod to carry out upgrades and modifications to the existing plant infrastructure in the Western Turner Syncline Phase 2 mine at its 100%-owned Greater Tom Price operation.
The shutdown work, part of the global miner’s work to maintain production capacity in its WA Pilbara system, is due for completion in the second half of 2022.
The new contract is among new contracts and extensions for Monadelphous in the resources and energy sector, collectively worth $A230M.
They include engineering, procurement and construction services for Newcrest Mining at its Lihir Island project in PNG and multi-disciplinary construction services for Tronox Mining at Broken Hill in NSW.
