All the works related to Robe Valley are expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

CPB Contractors managing director Juan Santamaria said: “We are pleased to be working on one of the largest and most important mining operations in Australia.

“CPB Contractors is committed to delivering these projects to the highest safety and quality standards and we’re proud to provide significant training and employment opportunities for local communities and Indigenous enterprises.”

CPB Contractors noted that the project will require deep coordination with Rio Tinto as well as other contractors working on-site.

In October, Rio Tinto awarded a contract to CAPE to relocate and modify the current electrical services, as well as install overhead and underground 33kV powerlines of the Robe Valley project.
