Transfield Services (TSE) has been awarded two engineering design and construction contracts in the Pilbara, Western Australia, worth a total of A$100 million. The contracts, with Rio Tinto and Fortescue Metals Group, integrate the expertise of Transfield Services’ specialist engineering design subsidiary, ICD, with the Company’s construction capability.
The contracts are a one year, $65 million contract to design and construct Rio Tinto’s Parker Point fuels storage terminal in Dampier. The terminal, which receives fuel via a 1.8 kilometre jetty and distributes the fuel by rail, is part of Rio Tinto’s iron ore operations in the Pilbara.
A one year $35 million contract to design and construct diesel storage facilities and distribution infrastructure to support the development and operations of the Solomon Mine in the Pilbara. The site is strategically located near railway and road infrastructure 30 minutes from Port Hedland and is critical to Fortescue’s expansion plans in the region.
