RCR awarded $600m FMG deal

Perth-based engineering group RCR Tomlinson has won a $600 million contract with Fortescue Metals Group for works at Fortescue's Solomon iron ore project in the Pilbara.

The scope of work encompasses engineering, procurement, construction and pre-commissioning of the project's Kings and Firetail ore processing facilities.

The contract is expected to be finalised by the end of the month, RCR managing director Paul Dalgleish said in a statement.

“We are very focused on delivering this exciting project for Fortescue, which, like RCR, has a history of innovation and a record of achieving promises on project delivery,” Dr Dalgleish said.

“This contract award follows the recent receipt of equipment orders for apron feeders and belt feeders to RCR's Mining business by Fortescue for the Solomon project, totalling $30 million.”

RCR's stock last traded at $1.44.
