1 Capability Statement 1

2 Introduction and Company Overview DeGrey Civil has a proud history in the Pilbara region dating back to the early nineties. The business has evolved through a variety of different formations to become the DeGrey Civil as it has been known since early The past couple of years have seen the business develop from a plant hire operation to a civil contractor performing works such as concrete, culverts, earthworks and pavements, employing over 50 staff in both operational and support roles. With offices in Wedgefield and Perth, the business has grown rapidly with an annualised turnover in excess of $40 million however we have not lost sight of our unassuming beginnings within the Pilbara. The key focus of the business is to provide value-add services to its clients through development of sustainable business relationships with key stakeholders that enable the experience of the personnel at DeGrey Civil to resolve seemingly complex issue. As a result of this attitude, DeGrey Civil won the CCF Earth Award for 2012 in Category 4 Projects valued from $20 million to $75 million for their Port Hedland Area G Project. 2

3 Core Competencies and Achievements DeGrey Civil staff have extensive construction experience in airport, road and harbour infrastructure projects specialising in regional Western Australian environments. There is no one size fits all approach taken at DeGrey Civil and we are keen to work with our customers to deliver bespoke solutions to any new or existing project or issue. DeGrey Civil offers an extensive range of civil engineering and contracting services ranging from urban land development and marina construction to road works and project management. At DeGrey Civil we pride ourselves on delivering outcomes that exceed our customers expectations. We take an individual approach to each of our projects no matter how big or small to ensure that we deliver to the highest possible standard. In the construction industry safety should always be the number one priority in any work environment. DeGrey Civil takes this responsibility very seriously and ensures that all employees and contractors are aware of the risks associated with working in these types of environments and understand the risk mitigation strategies to be engaged. Our staff are proactive in working with contractors to ensure that they are aware of and comply fully with our and any site specific safety procedures. We also recognise the importance of preserving as much of the original and surrounding environment as possible. Where feasible, we construct or clear around delicate flora and fauna to avoid disturbing the natural habitat. We are well aware of the impact that major bulk earthworks can have on the adjoining areas and take particular care to work with our customers to mitigate these issues. Whilst we may be a relatively small Company we are making our mark with major projects already being completed on time and within budget. Our honest, can do and professional approach enabling us to deliver projects not only on time to the quality required, but with no harm exemplified by over 231,000 hours LTI free. 3

4 Local Community DeGrey Civil identified an opportunity in early 2011 to partner with a local service provider; ALM Contracting on the Roy Hill Bund Construction Works Reclamation Area G Project. ALM Contracting is an indigenous owned and operated contracting business in Port Hedland specialising in non-mining specific works such as fencing, weed spraying, labouring, plant operating, provision of training and verification of competency assessments. Through this successful working relationship and ongoing partnering occasions over the ensuing years, an opportunity to provide even greater employment prospects for indigenous employees through an established and structured business model was identified. This was formalised in early 2013 through the signing of a Joint Venture arrangement focused on further developing local employment and training opportunities. This arrangement similarly ensures that DeGrey Civil s commitment to supporting and engaging local businesses and service providers is maintained. DeGrey Civil are pleased to support the Hedland community and are committed to putting back into the local area. To date this involvement has included sponsorship of the Hedland Speedway, the FINI Club, the Port Hedland Pro-am Golf Championship and the Port Hedland Cup. We are also proud members of the Port Hedland Chamber of Commerce and the Civil Contractors Federation and are fully supportive of the initiatives that these groups pursue in the interests of the region and in particular, the civil contracting industry. 4

In addition we maintained 200km of road by upgraded identified sections with gravel sheeting, maintenance grading and dust suppression. Certain sections of the access road were cyclone damaged in January 2011 in particular the Turner River crossing that required full reconstruction. 9
