INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT NRW recognises that our long-term success depends on the well-being and development of the communities in which we operate. We respect the importance of Indigenous Australian culture and value its diversity.

NRW has successfully employed and supported Indigenous people within our operations since the forming of the company in 1994. Increasing Indigenous jobs on our projects is an integral part of NRW’s philosophy.

Our Indigenous Employment & Training Policy aims, among other things, to increase levels of Indigenous employment and to assist the increase of social equity by improving Indigenous people’s income levels and employment opportunities.

Improving employment outcomes for Indigenous job seekers is a key element in providing economic independence, which will address the long-term disadvantage experienced by Indigenous Australians.

POWERUPPowerup, NRW’s Indigenous pre-employment program, provides opportunities for Indigenous candidates lacking entry level skills to break into the civil and mining industries. Each Powerup Program is tailored to meet specific project requirements and guarantees all candidates employment with NRW on successful graduation.

The Program delivers competency based training using hands-on activities such as driving haul trucks and rollers, including OH&S practices and procedures, which is empowering for the candidates.

Since its inception in 2008, Powerup has progressed steadily, and over 250 graduates have been placed into the NRW workforce to date.

MIDDLEMOUNT COALContract 1: Client: Middlemount Coal Joint Venture | Contract Mining Services | Value: $300 millionContract 2: Client: Middlemount Coal Joint Venture | Dry Hire | Value: $830 million

The Middlemount Coal Project was the first mining contract awarded to NRW in Queensland and was NRW’s first contract in the coal mining industry.

The original five year mining Contract was awarded in 2011 and included; clear and grubbing, long and short term detailed mine scheduling and planning, drilling and blasting including design, load and haul of 36 million BCM of overburden each year plus approximately two million tonnes of coal.

In February 2013, the new owners and NRW Holdings Limited reached an agreement to restructure the Mining Services Contract with Middlemount Coal JV into a Dry Hire Contract. As both Peabody Energy and Yancoal are coal mine operators it was a logical step for the Middlemount Coal JV to become the operator of the Middlemount Mine.

As part of the new arrangement NRW now provides ongoing maintenance services for the fleet. The original contract was due for completion in June 2016, however a contract extension to June 2020 was recently awarded.

The Dry Hire Contract value is approximately $830 million.

WESTERN TURNER SYNCLINEClient: Rio Tinto | Value: $237 million

NRW and Eastern Guruma Pty Ltd, who represent the traditional landowners of the area for mining, established a 50/50 Joint Venture to undertake works at Rio Tinto’s Western Turner Syncline Mine.

There were approximately 450 people employed at the mine on a 2:1 roster and for the last two years of the Project the indigenous employment was maintained at greater then 26%.

The Project scope included design and setting up of three areas of the mine using contour mining methods to allow the client to have an immediate start at the contract end. Work included; establishment of new haul roads and separated light vehicles roads; construction of ROM pads and backfilling civil infrastructure that is adjacent to the mine.

The Project involved mining of ore which is hauled to the Western Turner ROM pad with a fleet of 785 and 777 dump trucks. The ore was then hauled to the Tom Price mine via a 15 kilometre purpose built road by a fleet of five 350T pit hauler off-highway road trains.

NRW mined approximately 500,000 BCM per month to achieve the nine million tonne per annum target. NRW’s sister company Action Drill & Blast was also engaged on this Project to undertake drill and blasting – as a result interface between the drill and blast and load and haul was significantly more efficient and productive than when with non-related contractors.

CAPE LAMBERT PORT B EARTHWORKS Client: Rio Tinto | Value: $332 millionNRW, in joint venture with Indigenous partner, Ngarluma and Yindjibarndi Foundation Limited (NYFL), were on site at Cape Lambert from April 2011. The JV undertook major bulk earthworks in preparation for stockyards; car dumpers 5, 6 and 7; railtrack and ancillary works including pipe jacking and access roads.

The Project comprised of earthworks for the provision of two new stockyards and three car dumpers, constructed in two phases over two and a half years. Phase A involved bulk earthworks for car dumper 5, stockyard A and outloading berm which had two million cubic metres of drill and blast work up to 30 metres deep with 2.6 million cubic metres of rock and common cut and fill as well as 0.5 million cubic metres of unsuitable excavation

and disposal and two kilometres of culvert installation. Phase B, which was awarded and commenced prior to completion of Phase A had a double car dumper and stockyard, 1.8 million cubic metres of drill and blast, two million cubic metres of cut and fill, one million cubic metres of unsuitable excavation and disposal and four kilometres of culvert installation with a 2.2 metre diameter double pipejack under the live port railway feeding the shiploaders.

NRW’s successful project delivery led to a significant increase in scope with additional contract awards and variations added to the original scope. Stringent environmental conditions also applied due to local protected fauna.

ROY HILL RAIL Client: Samsung C&T | Value: $632 million

The Roy Hill Rail Project, NRW’s largest civil Project to date, consisted of approximately 330km of heavy haul rail formation and drainage between the Roy Hill Mine site and Port Hedland.

Together with sidings, level crossing and associated works, the overall materials moved was approximately 10.5 million cubic metres, of which over three million cubic metres was rock. The scope also included in excess of 36 kilometres of culverts.

In order to reach maximum efficiencies on the Project, NRW separated the works into five sections – Section 1 commenced in Port Hedland and Section 5 finished at the Roy Hill Mine – with each managed and resourced

independently. Each section, located approximately 70km long, had its own camp and section managers.

Preliminary construction commenced in October 2013 and the Project was completed in April 2015. At its peak, the Project employed a workforce of up to 1,650 personnel and utilised approximately 800 items of plant.

Prior to award of the Roy Hill Rail Project, NRW carried out earthworks on Fortescue’s Rail which runs parallel to the Roy Hill Rail Project. Our experience and understanding of the materials and terrain on that project put us in a position where we were able to add value to our client.

CASE STUDY

KARARA IRON ORE PROJECT Client: Karara Mining Limited | Value: $203 millionRepresenting the first major concrete works package NRW had undertaken, the Project encompassed all of the preliminary construction work for the iron ore crushing and processing facility.

Works include the construction of major concrete foundations and structures for the plant and associated infrastructure, including ball mills, primary and secondary crushers, load out vault, and conveyor trestle foundations. The pouring of more than 50,000 cubic metres of concrete was a major component of the Project.

As well as site earthworks and concrete foundations, the contract included construction of site drains, 18 kilometres of access roads, a retention pond and the all-weather airstrip. The earthworks and road works for the plant site and associated infrastructure had an approximate total volume of bulk earthworks of 500,000 cubic metres of cut to fill and borrow to fill which took into account approximately 18 kilometres of road works.

This project was significant not only because it was the first major concrete package undertaken by NRW but it also showcased NRW’s ability to deliver a major project combining the two key civil elements of bulk earthworks and concrete structures. This allowed NRW to remove all interface issues that commonly occur between these disciplines, saving significant to construction time for our clients.

CONCRETE NRW has successfully managed and delivered concrete works alongside bulk earthworks since 2002. NRW has established a dedicated team of specialised concrete project personnel including project managers, engineers and supervisors to specifically manage concrete works packages.

NRW’s concrete capability includes foundations and structures for plant and associated infrastructure including ball mills, primary and secondary crushers, load out vaults and conveyor trestle foundations. To date, NRW has undertaken 161,000 cubic metres of concrete works, with the most recent contract being the Roy Hill Concrete Package for Samsung C+T at the Roy Hill Mine for over 53,000 cubic metres.

ROY HILL CONCRETEClient: Samsung C&T | Value: $225 millionThe award of the Roy Hill Concrete Package, builds on NRW’s existing relationship with both Samsung C&T and Roy Hill, and follows the construction of NRW’s 330 kilometres Roy Hill Rail Project and the Bulk Earthworks Contract undertaken at the Roy Hill Mine Site.

The scope of works included insitu and precast concrete, inground and aboveground services and detailed earthworks for the iron ore processing plant, stockyard, overland conveyors and crushing areas.

To meet the client’s tight deadlines, the project team was required to pour an extraordinary average of 1,500 cubic metres of concrete per week and in order to do so mobilised a peak of 660 personnel to the Project within the space of three months.

Specific works undertaken included:

• 53,000m³ of structural concrete;

• 500,000m³ of earthworks;

• 60 kilometres of underground and aboveground HDPE and carbon steel piping; and

• 5 kilometres of rail works for the stackers and reclaimers.

The project had a construction duration of ten months commencing in April 2014 with peak manning of 660 personnel.

NRW’s Project team met the Client’s deadlines whilst working hard to build a positive safety culture and comradery which resulted in an extraordinary interim safety achievement of 990,000 man hours with a TRIFR of zero. With the manual intensive labour carried out by the team, this was no easy feat and industry leading in terms of performance.
