BMD Constructions and DJ MacCormick Contractors have been awarded a contract for works on the $274 million the Haughton Pipeline Project stage two in Queensland.
The Haughton Pipeline will help deliver a reliable water supply for industry and residential growth for the Townsville region.

BMD Constructions General Manager Northern Region, Gerard Keynes, said BMD’s experience means it is well placed to deliver the Haughton Pipeline Stage Two.
“The awarding of this contract demonstrates our long and collaborative relationship with Townsville City Council and its confidence in BMD’s capability, particularly after our successful delivery on Stage One,” Keynes said.
