With major infrastructure works underway at BHP’s Oak Dam site, the project team needed reliable local suppliers to support delivery. Through the Local Buying Program, BHP partnered with DK Civil Construction, a small local business based in Roxby Downs, to complete a range of civil concreting works and install solar lighting around the trail track.

DK Civil Construction’s strong reputation for quality workmanship and responsiveness to urgent requirements made them an ideal choice for this project. Their ability to integrate new concreting work seamlessly with previously completed contractor works ensured efficiency and high standards across the site. Prior experience working safely and effectively at Oak Dam further reinforced their capability to deliver essential, high-quality outcomes.

This partnership provided DK Civil Construction with exposure and credibility, opening doors for future opportunities across multiple sites. It also demonstrated how the BHP Local Buying Program streamlines procurement, making it easy for buyers to engage local businesses quickly and efficiently. By supporting local suppliers, BHP continues to strengthen regional capability while meeting its safety and performance standards.

The success of this collaboration highlights the value of connecting with local expertise to deliver critical infrastructure while creating meaningful economic and social benefits for the Roxby Downs community.
