Austral Construction is an established Engineering Contractor providing services to the Mining and Infrastructure sectors.

Through its first 25 years, Austral gained national recognition for innovative marine piling and civil construction works. This reputation allowed the company to win marine contracts around Australia; from Cairns in Far North Queensland, to northern NSW, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and up the WA coast to Geraldton, Port Hedland and Wyndham in the northern Kimberley. Concurrently, Austral completed civil and dam projects in regional Victoria and NSW and provided specialist subcontract services on large Melbourne infrastructure projects, such as Citylink toll road.

The year 2005, however, marked a turning point for Austral with its first contract win for Hamersley Iron in Dampier, Western Australia. This first contract was a marine design and construction contract for Rio Tinto's Project Engineering Group. The impressive execution of this project provided Austral the opportunity to win civil and structural projects throughout Rio Tinto Iron Ore's Pilbara Operations across most of their mine sites as well as continued marine works at Dampier. Since that initial contract, Austral has completed over 35 contracts and $150m worth of work for Rio Tinto's Project Engineering Group and the Company has developed its ability to work effectively in remote locations with excellent logistical support. Over the years Austral has built a reputation of delivering quality construction works where safety management and continued system improvement have priority.
