We recently recognised Indigenous Business Month, a time to celebrate First Nations businesses, their stories, and contributions toward a sustainable Indigenous business sector. 

Saipem Clough Joint Venture is proud to work with Waru Vehicle Hires, an Aboriginal-owned and majority female-owned business, on Perdaman’s Project Ceres in the Pilbara, Western Australia. Waru has been engaged to provide Project Ceres with a light vehicle (LV) fleet, supporting this critical project with tailored vehicle hire solutions.
 
Waru’s impact is far-reaching; led by Shakira Grasso, a traditional owner from the Pilbara region with Nyiyaparli and Palyku Aboriginal heritage, Waru actively fosters community engagement and deepens understanding of Indigenous cultures.
 
Thank you, Shakira and Waru Vehicle Hires! We’re excited to partner with you and celebrate the vital role of Indigenous businesses in our projects and communities.

With our parent company, Webuild, we have strengthened capabilities, delivering iconic and pioneering projects together across Australia and the Asia Pacific.

About the Project

Clough and Saipem in an equally shared (50/50) joint venture, are delivering the engineering, procurement of equipment and materials, construction, pre-commissioning and commissioning for Perdaman Industries' Urea Plant Project, a latest-generation fertilizers plant with a capacity of 2.14 million tons of urea per year.

The plant will be part of a landmark project for Western Australia, generating on average 2,000 jobs during the construction phase and approximately 200 permanent jobs during the operational phase.

The joint venture and Perdaman’s commitment to make a positive impact in the community are aligned, and a key aspect during the construction phase is to engage with the Indigenous and local communities through career, training and business opportunities ensuring long lasting social benefits.
