Civmec says it has recently secured a series of new contracts and extensions with a combined value exceeding A$400 million ($269 million), banking agreements with both BHP and Fortescue.
These awards reflect the group’s success in converting a strong pipeline of opportunities and reinforce Civmec’s strategic focus on continued early-contractor involvement, sustainable growth and order book diversification, while underscoring the strength of long-standing relationships with tier one clients, the company says.
The A$400 million of new contracts and extensions are expected to be delivered across 2026 and 2027.
Among the newly awarded contracts, Civmec has secured a significant contract with BHP for the Port Debottlenecking Project 2 (PDP2) at Nelson Point, Port Hedland, Western Australia. As part of PDP2, Civmec has been awarded the contract to deliver the concrete and earthworks for the installation of a sixth car dumper (CD6) which is also being manufactured by Civmec at its Henderson fabrication facility.
The current scope includes the requirement for earthworks and placement of concrete to accommodate the installation of CD6, as well as general concrete works across the site for new conveyors and transfer stations. Civmec’s responsibilities include establishing a new batch plant to supply concrete, designing and installing new piling for CD6 and managing all temporary works. The scope also encompasses the design, supply, installation and maintenance of a temporary dewatering and recharge system, bulk excavation to allow for the new car dumper structure, formwork, rebar and placing concrete works for CD6 and all conveyor and transfer station footings, including associated works such as shotcrete and waterproofing.
The award of the PDP2 civils package follows the recent award of the steel fabrication package, which consists of around 700 t of structural steel modules including one shuttle, four maintenance gates, CD6 enclosure and various other structures, as part of the same package for the greater PDP2 project.
Civmec has also been awarded a contract for the construction of light mobile equipment and support mobile equipment charger facilities and pit power infrastructure at Fortescue’s Eliwana and Flying Fish mine sites, in Western Australia. The scope encompasses construction, installation, verification and commissioning of multiple charger facilities, ranging from prefabricated DC distribution units to integrated AC chargers along with civil works and electrical integration for transportable pit power substations. These substations, designed for modular deployment, will support the rollout of electric excavators and drills, reinforcing Fortescue’s decarbonisation objectives.
Civmec says it continues supporting Fortescue’s decarbonisation initiatives, including its ongoing delivery of civils and SMPE&I for Fortescue’s Christmas Creek Green Iron Project.
