DRA and BGC join forces in Australia
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Mining services providers DRA Pacific and BGC Contracting have formed a joint venture (JV) to service the Australian resources sector.
The JV, with combined access to over 6 000 employees globally, was being marketed as a one-stop shop delivering a full suite of services, including engineering, procurement, construction, operations and maintenance.
“We are excited by the potential benefits which will be provided by combining the complementary skills and experience of our two companies through this JV,” said DRA Pacific CEO Clive Hart.
“Key benefits for DRA will be the enhancement of our ability to offer engineering, procurement, construction and lump sum turnkey contract packages, and other contract models such as build, own, operate and transfer, assisted by the strong balance sheet of our two organisations.
“The JV is pursuing a number of promising opportunities, which we hope to announce soon,” he added.
BGC Contracting CEO Greg Heylen noted that the JV would provide significant growth opportunities.
“The collective scale, capacity and skills of the two groups would enable the JV to deliver an expanded range of services to a wider cross-section of industries.”
DRA Pacific is the Australian branch of project house DRA, which has a record spanning more than 30 years in the study and delivery of minerals processing and mining projects globally. It has experience in the iron-ore, gold, base metals, coal, diamonds, platinum-group metals, mineral sands, rare earths and fertiliser minerals sectors.
BGC Contracting, meanwhile, is a major contractor in the Australian region, with extensive experience in mining and civil construction projects, and in delivering a range of services across the mining, oil and gas and public infrastructure sectors.
