Forge Group subsidiary Cimeco has won key contracts to assist in the upgrade of FQM Nickel's Ravensthorpe project, in a deal worth USD 23 million.

Cimeco will undertake piping installation, and electrical and instrumentation works at the project, carrying through to May 2911.

In 2010, Cimeco launched its new electrical and instrumentation division, which is also doing work for Hillgrove Resources and Lynas Corporation.

Forge managing director Peter Hutchinson said he expected further contracts as the new division gained traction.
