The awards reflect the Group’s continued success in converting its pipeline of opportunities in the critical minerals sector. They also reinforce its strategic focus on diversifying the order book and underscore the strength of its long-standing relationships with Tier-1 clients.
Key figures from the announcement:
- Combined award value: exceeding A$220 million
- Delivery window: FY27 and FY28 (expected)
- Order Book: approximately A$1.5 billion following these awards

Wagerup Gallium Project construction contract awarded
Scope of works
Civmec has been awarded the construction contract for the gallium production plant at Alcoa’s Wagerup Alumina Refinery in Western Australia. The value of the Wagerup contract was not disclosed, and the announcement does not allocate a share of the A$220 million to it.
Civmec will deliver the multidisciplinary construction of the plant’s process facilities, comprising:
- Civil works
- Structural works
- Mechanical works
- Piping works
- Electrical and instrumentation works
- The process building, tanks, laboratory and supporting infrastructure
Civmec will also support Alcoa through commissioning.
Project backdrop
The gallium project brings together government and industry partners from Australia, Japan and the United States. A final investment decision was made in July 2026, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held in August 2026 to mark the start of construction. The project is expected to support up to 200 local construction jobs.
The award builds on Civmec’s growing presence in Western Australia’s critical minerals processing sector. It complements the Company’s long history of building process plants for a variety of commodities across the resources sector since its inception.
Patrick Tallon, Chief Executive Officer
“We are proud to have been selected to deliver this strategically important facility. The project plays directly to Civmec’s integrated, multidisciplinary capability, and it is a privilege to help establish a new, secure source of gallium right here in Western Australia…”
Maintenance wins and repeat-client momentum
Civmec has been awarded the Bulk Cargo Terminal works contract at Glencore’s Murrin Murrin Operations. The award reflects the Group’s continued success in securing maintenance and sustaining capital works from repeat clients.
Consistent with its focus on maintenance services as a pillar of growth, the Group has continued to secure new awards, panel agreement extensions and new orders across its maintenance portfolio. This work is supported by its permanent regional facilities in Port Hedland and Gladstone.
Civmec also continues to participate in early contractor involvement activities across a range of commodities. The announcement says this positions the business well for upcoming tender opportunities.
Values for the individual maintenance awards were not disclosed.
What is an order book, and why does it matter to investors?
An order book is the total of contracted work a company has won but is yet to deliver. It differs from revenue, which reflects work already completed and booked.
With the Order Book at approximately A$1.5 billion, investors have a reference point for contracted work in the pipeline. Conversion to revenue depends on delivery timing, which for these awards is expected across FY27 and FY28.
Civmec’s FY26 revenue results of A$903 million and NPAT of A$52.1 million, both up by double digits, show how earnings growth has outpaced revenue ahead of the FY27 and FY28 delivery window.
The table below summarises the two named awards.
Fact vs. Impact
| Award | Client | Scope | Timing | Contract value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wagerup Gallium Project | Alcoa | Construction of the gallium production plant, with support through commissioning | Expected across FY27 and FY28 (combined awards) | Not disclosed |
| Murrin Murrin Bulk Cargo Terminal works | Glencore | Maintenance and sustaining capital works | Expected across FY27 and FY28 (combined awards) | Not disclosed |
Investment significance and what’s next
The announcement links critical minerals exposure, Tier-1 clients including Alcoa and Glencore, and a focus on diversifying the order book with growth in maintenance services. Together, these awards take the Order Book to approximately A$1.5 billion.
Next steps include delivery across FY27 and FY28, support for Alcoa through commissioning at Wagerup, and potential tender opportunities arising from early contractor involvement activities.
