NRW wins $110m in new contracts

NRW Holdings says it has won $110 million in new contracts across the infrastructure and resources sector.

The contracts include work on the State Government’s Smart Freeways project on the southbound lanes of the Mitchell Freeway between Reid Highway and Vincent Street.

The investigation, design and construction work has been awarded to an NRW-led consortium that also includes Service Stream and WSP.

NRW said a second contract involved miscellaneous works including bulk earthworks, civil and ancillary works to construct the infrastructure required to develop and operate an iron ore mine pit in the East Pilbara.

The contractor will also provide design and civil construction works in Queensland’s Bowen Basin region including a box-cut for an underground portal, light vehicle access roads, mining infrastructure area pads and dam construction.

Another job in the Bowen Basin will involve major rehabilitation works including the construction of two sediment basins.

In Brisbane, NRW will conduct design, construction and rehabilitation work of the main lake within the St Lucia Lakes Precinct.

NRW is expected to report its first half results next Thursday.

Its shares were 3¢, or 1.7 per cent, to $1.725 t 8.15am in a broadly weaker market.
