Overview

We have managed numerous projects in isolated regions across Australia, helping us to build an impressive bank of practical knowledge of the requirements relating to the development of world-class resources infrastructure, particularly integrated pit-to-port services to service the booming export markets. 

Laing O’Rourke’s highly experienced mining engineers and project delivery personnel ensure we pay detailed attention at the early planning stages of every project to assure constructability. Our proven track record working collaboratively with some of the world’s largest mining and resource companies underpins our ability to provide clients with cost effective solutions. 

Broad capabilities

Our unique in-house design strength, as well as world-leading technology partners, enables us to deliver integrated materials handling systems, dump stations, conveyor systems, crushing and screening plants, supporting infrastructure including roads, rail loops, dams, water retaining structures and pipelines, to processing and washery solutions, stockpiling, stacking and reclaiming, electrical and control systems and load-out facilities. 

On the port side, participants in the materials exporting industries have all drawn on our specialist expertise for dredging, civil works, berth design and construction, and the erecting and commissioning of materials-based ship-loading facilities. 

In delivering mining infrastructure for public and private sector clients, Laing O’Rourke has developed expertise in creating innovative solutions via different contractual arrangements, including construct only, design and construct and engineer, procure and construct (EPC), through self delivery, alliances and joint ventures. 

Full Service offering

Our in-house Redispan and Select businesses are also bringing innovative thinking to our full service offering, with greater use of offsite manufacturing of modularised products to drive time and cost efficiencies in the installation of higher quality resource handling infrastructure like railway lines and mineral conveyors. 

Our unique focus on worker safety and welfare is made possible through our direct employment model which provides greater control in the construction phases, alongside our expertise in building and maintaining state-of-the-art accommodation villages.
