Pindan has been contracted to build a 780-room construction camp in the Pilbara for a recently-approved multi-billion dollar mining project.
Swift’s contract with Pindan will cover the design and construction of network infrastructure, TV headend and the supply of media technology for information and content delivery.
Swift chief executive officer Xavier Kris said: “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Pindan, a leader in property and construction, to deliver content and connectivity to a globally significant mining company.
“This new project reiterates the ‘best-in-class’ status of Swift’s telco and media solutions in the resources market.
“With construction at the camp set to begin next year, we expect the project to contribute materially to Swift’s revenue in FY19 and are hopeful of an ongoing services contract to follow.”
