Kerman Contracting’s Managing Director Chris Kerman said the project fits perfectly into its core business and will provide employment for about 60 site personnel and opportunities for local businesses.

“To deliver a world class facility for MRL we will call upon our previous experience in the design and construction of port bulk storage and materials handling facilities in locations such as Bunbury, Esperance, Geraldton, Port Kembla and Whyalla,” Kerman said.

“We are very pleased with the opportunity to design and construct a storage facility with these dimensions in the Pilbara region. Once constructed this facility will be one of the largest enclosed bulk storage buildings in Australia’s cyclone region.”
