SINGAPORE: AusGroup Limited announced that subsidiary AGC Industries has been awarded a three year maintenance and shutdown support contract by BHP Nickel West for all Nickel West assets across Western Australia including Mt Keith, Leinster, Kwinana and Kalgoorlie.

This multi-disciplinary services contract will be supported by AusGroup’s specialist rope access capability. Additionally, AusGroup’s strategically located Kwinana Maintenance Hub will play a critical part in the contract delivery model through access to plant, equipment, inducted personnel, fabrication and ad-hoc services as required.
