Gumala Contracting
Established in 1997, Gumala Contracting provides a full range of civil earthmoving, contract mining and miscellaneous works across the Pilbara region. Utilizing a skilled and experienced workforce, we are adept at completing tasks ranging from general road maintenance, through to project specific requirements such as the installation of culverts, maintenance of stockpiles, and clearing of vegetation.
The company operates a full suite of plant and equipment, including graders, dozers, excavators, water trucks, tippers, loaders and rollers.
Major new projects that have recently commenced or that will commence in 2011 include: bulk earthworks as part of the Tom Price Substation Upgrade Project; the $4.7m Paraburdoo Explosives Compound Security Upgrade Project; the Tom Price Mine Outside Personnel Car Park Upgrade Project; and the Tom Price Fuel Bund Upgrade Project.
Projects successfully completed in 2010 include the Marandoo AN Facility Upgrade Project and Brockman 2 Ore Sorting contract, both with glowing praise from our client Rio Tinto. Gumala Contracting also undertook road maintenance works at West Angelas throughout 2010, as well as continuing to employ a very high number of Indigenous workers under its Hope Downs contract.
Gumala Contracting is committed to the employment of local Indigenous people, and is a market leader in this area. Recognizing that its Indigenous workforce is a major asset, the company has developed and implemented a range of programs and initiatives to recruit, develop and retain valuable Indigenous employees.
Gumala Contracting sees its people, exemplary safety record and commitment to the sustainable future of the communities in which it works as its major strengths, and this, along with its commitment to providing its clients with a service second to none, saw the company recognized as a finalist in the Rio Tinto Supplier Recognition Awards in early 2009.
