    - Nadeem Abbas, Project Engineer | Melchor (A Monadelphous Business)

  • "Red Hand Civil Contracting was engaged to provide GPS excavation services to Melchor's West Musgrave Project for a period of over 12 months. During this time Emmet and his team provided an exceptionally professional service with outstanding accuracy and productivity. Over the 12-month period two excavators were engaged in multiple high pressure work fronts involving excavation, final trimming and backfill with both machines highly productive. Emmet's and his team were fully engaged with the Melchor HSE policies and their KPI conformance was excellent. Due to the cessation of BHP nickel operations, Emmet's contract with Melchor came to a premature conclusion but I would have no hesitation in providing a formal reference for Emmet and Red Hand Civil."
