AusGroup subsidiary, AGC Industries Pty Ltd, the Australian-based construction, integrated services and fabrication company, says it has won a US$30 million ($37.3 million) to build structural, mechanical and piping (SMP) works on the Rio Tinto operated Dampier Incremental Expansion project, in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia.
With this contract award, AusGroup’s order book now stands at A$315 million ($402 million).
AGC will build two new conveyors and two new surge bins which will transfer ore from the surge bins to the conveyors for loading onto waiting transport ships.
The work, which will start immediately, is expected to finish next March.
AusGroup says the overall port upgrade will increase Parker Point facility’s ship loading capacity.
