SINGAPORE, 21 October 2013 - Civmec,  an Australian based integrated multi-disciplinary heavy engineering service provider, is pleased
to announce it has recently been awarded a number of new contracts.
 
The value of the recent contract awards increased the order book to over SGD$330 million.   
Amid plenty of doom and gloom in the resources sector, heavy engineering and construction services provider Civmec is powering ahead on the back of WA's massive liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion.
While its peers in mining are taking turns to downgrade their profit expectations, Civmec last month reported a hefty profit hike for the financial year to date.
The contractor said tendering activities were better than six months earlier and the highest since its inception.
The two key players behind Civmec are not so much low-profile as no-profile. Executive chairman Jim Fitzgerald and CEO Pat Tallon retained hefty stakes of nearly 20 per cent each when the company quietly listed on the Singapore Exchange last year.
Those shareholdings were worth $S86 million ($72 million) each at Friday's closing price.
Since taking control of the company from former parent VDM Group four years ago, Civmec's growth under Mr Fitzgerald and Mr Tallon has been nothing short of spectacular.
In the 2011-12 financial year, revenue soared more than 400 per cent to $S329 million. Net profit was up 300 per cent to $S30 million.
This year's performance will be better. Revenue for the first nine months of this financial year was up 52 per cent to $S326 million, while profit climbed 22 per cent to $S27 million.
Since building a massive fabrication facility at the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson, Civmec has been a key supplier of pre-cast concrete structures for Chevron's Gorgon LNG project.
The company raised about $S20 million from the Singapore listing, part of which was used to fund a new office at the Henderson site. The share price has more than doubled since the float.
This year Civmec has expanded its service offering to include structural, mechanical and piping installation, as well as asset management and integrated services. Mr Fitzgerald has hinted at a share placement to fund expansion.
Neither of the company's leaders is an overnight success. A qualified sheet metal worker, Mr Fitzgerald has been in the business for more than 30 years. He was a founder of resources contractor AGC, eventually becoming executive director of its parent AusGroup.
Mr Tallon got his start as a tradesman in Ireland and has spent a quarter of a century in the construction industry. He was a director of Ballymount Enterprises before it merged with Civmec in 2009.
Due to?
New contracts?
Or rumours of takeover news like Ezra?
She's in a good position for that due to the low share price
