NRW Holdings Ltd says its wholly owned subsidiary RCR Mining Technologies has been awarded a A$27.2 million contract for the design and construction of a Primary Crushing Plant (PCP) at Fortescue Metals Group’s Cloudbreak mine. “After successful delivery of the previous Hopper 9 Crushing Facility at Fortescue’s Cloudbreak mine in early 2020 this award is strategically significant for the business as it showcases our engineering-led delivery of innovative solutions.”

RCR is partnering with Primero Group who will provide engineering support and construction services. The statement said: “This project will be complimentary and concurrent to the Solomon Hub Conveyor and Crushing plant we are currently delivering for Fortescue Metals Group, announced earlier this year. NRW subsidiaries, RCR Mining Technologies and DIAB Engineering, together with Primero, bring a very strong Design, Manufacture and Construction capability to this project with an engineering led philosophy of solutions and innovation.We look forward to working with the Fortescue team to deliver another crushing project.”

NRW CEO Jules Pemberton said: “I’m delighted that our Minerals Energy and Technology team of RCR Mining Technologies, DIAB and Primero are able to collaborate once again on another project for Fortescue and continue to innovate through smarter engineering solutions.”
