Thiess, part of the Leighton Holdings group, has been awarded a new contract by Western Power to work with the energy provider to upgrade and maintain its electrical distribution network throughout metropolitan Perth, as well as the south-west and mid north-west regions of Western Australia.
The new performance-based contract has an estimated value of $125 million over a two-year term with options for further 2 x 1 year extensions.
