NRW Holdings (ASX:NWH) has secured a significant contract with BHP, valued at $109 million, for works at the Jimblebar project. The project will kick off in November 2024 and continue until the second quarter of 2026. NRW Holdings anticipates hiring up to 120 staff members and incorporating around 50 pieces of plant and equipment into the project. 

The scope of the project includes various civil, building, mechanical, and electrical tasks to support sustainable production at Jimblebar. Among the major tasks are the construction of a new floodway, a light vehicle access road, washdown facilities for both heavy and light vehicles, and the installation of high-density polyethylene piping. Additionally, a 33kV overhead transmission line will be a key part of the infrastructure being developed. 

Located near Newman in Western Australia, Jimblebar is an open-pit iron ore mine, owned 85% by BHP and 15% by Mitsui and ITOCHU. The mine is part of BHP's Western Australia Iron Ore operations, which include five mines and four processing hubs connected by a vast rail network and port facilities. This integrated system supports large-scale iron ore production and transportation. 

NRW Holdings shared that bulk earthworks and the construction of permanent facilities will form a significant part of the contract. These developments are expected to enhance operational efficiency and sustainability at the Jimblebar site. 

As of the last trading session, NRW Holdings (ASX:NWH) was priced at $3.62.
