Australian based Monadelphous has announced that it has secured a major construction contract with Rio Tinto Iron Ore at its Cape Lambert Port B project in Western Australia. The contract, valued at roughly $235 million includes structural mechanical piping works for the supply and installation of a screenhouse, two car dumpers and associated conveyors and transfer stations. The project, which is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of the 2014 calendar year, follows other recently completed screenhouse and car dumper supply and installation works at Cape Lambert.

Rob Velletri, Monadelphous Managing Director said: “This award builds on our long term relationship with Rio Tinto. We look forward to the successful delivery of another large-scale project which continues our extensive support for Rio Tinto in the expansion and maintenance of its Pilbara iron ore operations over many years”.
