earthmoving and equipment hire services
throughout WA, building a $50 million
fleet of plant and equipment during its
14
years in business. With a head office

Port Hedland, Alliance is ideally placed

the company also has the expertise and
capacity to work anywhere in Australia.

prides itself on an exceptional safety
record and has achieved certification

members deliver projects in a safe and
effective manner, providing incomparable
mining and civil construction services
by utilising late model, well-maintained
equipment and best practice project
management techniques.

In September 2012 the Woodside Pluto LNG haul road resurfacing and finishing works project
on the Burrup Peninsula was completed; marking the successful wrap up of Alliance’s
largest civil construction project that spanned over three years.
Ian Phippard is Alliance Contracting’s Business Development Director. He has a wealth of mining and
construction experience, overseeing open pit mining in the gold and mineral sands industries, and civil
projects and depots throughout the Pilbara.
In the 90’s Ian was General Manager of BGC Contracting, before becoming one of the founding Directors
of Alliance Contracting in 1999. From its modest home-office beginnings, the company now employs over
250
employees, and today Ian concentrates on identifying and developing the company’s future business.
One of Ian’s greatest professional achievements was Alliance Contracting’s first job in 1999 – upgrading
the Yandi access road and associated works for BHP Billiton Iron Ore and Rio Tinto. “Having these blue chip
companies on our CV opened doors for further opportunities, and helped grow the company”, explains Ian.
Ian is mindful of never taking things for granted, instead being prepared to work through obstacles. In 2008,
for example, the company wanted to work on Woodside’s Pluto project, but had first to obtain AS/NZ ISO 9001
accreditation. After gaining this in March 2009, it could then work on the desired project through Foster Wheeler WorleyParsons.
Ian has been a member of the WA Mining Club for three years, and attends most Club functions and events.
