Contract Award: Yandi Oxbow

NRW is pleased to announce a contract award by Rio Tinto of approximately $30 million of bulk earthworks and civil works for the Yandi Oxbow Project at Yandicoogina mine.

The contract includes the construction of 4.5km of haul road, a heavy vehicle bridge, 700,000cm of embankment construction, 3200 lineal metres of culverts and upgrades to existing light vehicle access roads.

Commencing late July 2016, the 38 week project will require 130 workers at its peak.

This is a very pleasing win for NRW, and builds on the long standing relationship with Rio Tinto, from our first contract win in 2002 at Paraburdoo.
