Thiess wins another Leinster contract

CIMIC Group’s Thiess has locked in a 24-month contract extension at BHP Nickel West’s Leinster underground mine in WA.

The $190 million contract comprised a full range of underground mining services and equipment to support the mine’s lateral development, including load and haul, shotcreting, cable bolting and full fleet maintenance.

“We have a deep understanding of the mine and our team is well placed to help support its next phase of development and production,” Thiess managing director Douglas Thompson said.

Thiess first commenced work at Leinster in 2016, when its team excavated 610 metres of horizontal development.
