SCEE wins more Rio works

Southern Cross Electrical Engineering has bolstered its order book, securing electrical and instrumentation works worth more than $10 million at Rio Tinto's Nammuldi below watertable project.

SCEE will subcontract to Civmec, which is undertaking stockyard and train load-out works at the Nammuldi project.

The contract includes installation of the electrical instrumentation and control system, as well as pre-commissioning of two stockyard conveyors, a reclaim conveyor, train load-out facility and associated sub-station infrastructure work.

SCEE expects to commence work on site next month with completion scheduled for October this year.

The company earlier this month announced it had secured a $40 million electrical and instrumentation contract at Rio's Cape Lambert Port B project in the Pilbara and says it is in negotiations with the mining giant to secure further works at the project.

SCEE shares were trading half a cent lower at 76 cents at 11:45am WST.
