Thiess wins $125m electrical contract
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. Managing Director Bruce Munro said the new contract reaffirms the strong relationship between Thiess and Western Power. “This demonstrates the commitment and leadership of the Thiess team in WA, our depth of expertise, quality of service and commitment to safety and innovation," Munro said.
Since 2005, Thiess’ Energy business has carried out HV electrical upgrades and construction projects for the Western Power overhead and underground south-west interconnected network.
