Perth-based heavy equipment engineering company RCR Tomlinson Ltd has announced that it has recently won $28.2 million in new work orders for its engineering and site maintenance divisions.
The contracts include, site maintenance and construction contracts to the value of $22.5 million, and also some one-off orders for RCR's apron feeders and scrubbers products, worth around $5.7 million.
RCR chief executive John Linden told WA Business News that the main contract was actually made up of two separate work orders.
"The majority of the $22.5 million contract is for BHP's Ravensthorpe project, for piping and ancillary services," he said.
"Some of the work will be conducted on-site and the balance will be spread across our workshop locations."
The balance of the first contract is for an unspecified client.
"The $5.7 million orders for our own manufactured apron feeders and scrubbers will be handled from our Bunbury workshop."
Since being formed in 1997 through the merger of RCR Engineering Ltd and Centurion Industries Ltd, the company has consolidated its position in the heavy equipment sector, and now employs around 700 staff and contractors.
The company is well placed in 2006.
"We have about half a dozen substantial tenders in the final stages of approval, with outcomes to be known over the next three months," Mr Linden said.
