I wonder if RCR won the contract to supply an apron feeder for The Eliwana Project? RCR is a leader in the design and manufacture of heavy duty apron feeders for mines, plus it has a history of supplying them to FMG.

It is possible that many RCR-specific contracts in future may not be announced if they are individually worth less than $10 million, or whatever is deemed not to require an Annouincement. Little fish are sweet.

If one looks at the work packages for Eliwana, one would realise just how much of the work could be done by the RCR-NWH combo. The second date is when tenders closed. NPI below means non-processing infrastructure. Some contracts for work package listed below have already been awarded. Some lines may overflow - the three minute edit window is too short to fix them sometimes.

Sticking with poetry, Tennyson's refrain in “The Brook” may be twisted to be “Work may be won, and work may be lost, but there's heaps to be had, whatever.” And sticking with the magic of thrice three, if the God of Construction meted out nine of the work packages of these two projects to NWH, I would sacrifice my neighbours dog in thanksgiving.
