Leighton Holdings subsidiary John Holland has been awarded a $100 million contract to deliver mine infrastructure for Rio Tinto in the Pilbara.
The contractor will be on site later this month and is scheduled to complete its works by April next year.
Rio is aiming to take its annual production to 360 million tonnes per annum, after its system of mines, rail and ports achieved a milestone run rate of 290mtpa.
The mining giant this week said the infrastructure that would enable expanded production of 360mtpa should be completed in about 12 months.
John Holland said it expects 200 people to work on the contract at its peak.
