Resource Development Group’s subsidiary Central Systems has been awarded a contract by BHP to undertake civil construction works at the Mount Newman operations in Western Australia.

This contract win is in addition to a smaller contracted work from Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) - also in the Pilbara region - which brings the total value of contracts to $14 million.
