Downer EDI has won the contract for Rio Tinto Iron Ore’s Mesa A/Warramboo project.
The infrastructure contract, worth more than $50 million, involves earthworks, concrete works, road surfacing and bridge construction, as well as electrical and communication works.
Downer CEO Grant Fenn said this is a first with Rio Tinto’s expansion projects group.
The Warramboo project, which is located 165 km south of Karratha, is scheduled for completion in April next year.
