Integrated engineering services company, Norfolk Group Limited (NFK), has been awarded two new contracts at major resources projects in Western Australia and Queensland. Norfolk’s electrical and communications division, O’Donnell Griffin, has won a contract worth approximately $37 million for works relating to a major underground minerals project in the Kimberley in Western Australia. It has also recently been awarded a $19 million contract for works at an expansion of an existing coal mine in Queensland’s Bowen Basin. The contract wins are in line with Norfolk’s strategy to focus on key growth sectors of the economy and to build on O’Donnell Griffin’s significant capabilities in the resources sector.
