Decmil Group Limited (DCG) today announced its wholly-owned subsidiary, Decmil Australia Ltd, has been awarded an A$82.4 million contract by Fortescue Metals Group Ltd to design and construct an 800-man accommodation village at Christmas Creek in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. Work on the project will start immediately and is expected to be completed in February 2011.

Decmil Group CEO Scott Criddle said “this latest contract further cements Decmil’s position as the leading provider of accommodation villages to the WA resources and oil & gas industry. The Company’s experience and reputation for designing and constructing large-scale accommodation villages has strengthened in the past two years and remains a core business focus for the Group going forward,” Mr Criddle said. The Christmas Creek village will accommodate the permanent workforce for FMG’s mining operations and has been designed to provide ‘a superior level of comfort and service in accommodation villages in Western Australia.’  Mr Criddle said Decmil has seen a step-change in resource companies’ approach to the design of remote accommodation villages in recent years. “Decmil Australia is now designing and constructing villages that resemble a resort, rather than a traditional  workers camp with rows of accommodation,” he said. “It is clearly evident that resources companies are significantly increasing the design and standard of accommodation facilities offered to employees in line with the strong competition for labour.”

The Christmas Creek village has been specifically designed to enable a cost effective and practical expansion to accommodate 1600 people. The design clusters accommodation units in groups around a circular landscaped meeting and relaxing zone rather than in a grid. The village can be built in two phases with two 800-person camps centered around a shared services area.

Decmil Group Limited (DCG) is a multi-disciplined design, civil engineering and construction company focussed on delivering integrated solutions to blue-chip clients in the oil and gas, resources and infrastructure sectors in Western Australia through a group of wholly-owned subsidiaries. Previously known as Paladio Group Limited, the company changed its name to Decmil Group Limited in June 2009 to leverage value from its major subsidiary Decmil Australia’s 30-year history, recognisable brand and established reputation with blue-chip clients. Decmil Australia Pty Ltd is a leading provider of engineering construction, maintenance and industrial services to Australia’s resources, energy and infrastructure sectors. The company offers a wide range of construction and maintenance services, specialising in non-process infrastructure on remote sites. Decmil has been contracted to design, build and commission temporary and permanent accommodation villages, administration buildings, maintenance facilities and storage facilities for some of the world’s leading resource companies.
