Brisbane-based contractor Watpac has secured a $35 million addition to its existing $289 million mining services contract with BC Iron at its Nullagine iron ore joint venture in the Pilbara.
The rapid expansion of the WA mining industry over the past decade has mostly been good news for mining contractors, but the benefits have not always come as expected.
Brisbane-based contractor Watpac Ltd is set to acquire JMS Civil and Mining Pty Ltd Group, which counts the state's Water Corporation and the Department of Main Roads as clients.
