The contract award followed an eight month long tender negotiation and is a testament to Monadelphous’ strong reputation and reliable performance with Rio Tinto.   Awarded in February 2025, the program involves a combination of blasting and painting corroded structures, welding compensation plates on damaged members, and replacing specific structural components.   Pre-Contracts Manager, Rafferty Fox shared that this project would continue to strengthen Monadelphous' relationship with Rio Tinto.   "The project is a great opportunity for us to showcase our expertise and deliver exceptional results. Our dedicated project team, with extensive structural integrity experience, is ready to exceed the customer’s expectations in terms of safety and quality," Rafferty explained.   "Starting strong at Paraburdoo will set us up for success as we roll out the work at Marando and Western Turner Syncline.”   “It’s a great platform to showcase our reliability and expertise, which will ultimately lead to more opportunities for the future.”   “A special shout out to Irwin, Prashant and the Tom Price team for their hard work and strong relationship with the customer to secure this contract.”   The project is due to kick things off at the Paraburdoo site in August.   With this project, Monadelphous is not only ensuring a steady flow of work for its core team but also continuing to strengthen its relationship with Rio Tinto. ## Leave a comment Previous Post Jo’s 15-Year Monos Adventure Next Post A message from Nick Raffan ## Recommended For You [![](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hubfs/Copy%20of%20HubSpot%20Blog%20Image%20(87).jpg)](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/strengthening-our-reconciliation-journey-in-darwin-and-karratha) [People](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/tag/people) 1 Min Read ### [Strengthening our reconciliation journey in Darwin and Karratha](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/the-fix/strengthening-our-reconciliation-journey-in-darwin-and-karratha) As we continue celebrating the launch of Monadelphous’ fifth Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) and third ...
