Under the terms of the contract, Thiess will be responsible for bulk and final-finish earthworks for the plant, storm water drainage system and access roads around the project.
Theiss managing director Bruce Munro said the contract built on the company’s productive and ongoing relationship with Chevron.
"Thiess brings to the sector a proven track record in managing the logistical challenges of these large geographically dispersed projects and we look forward to growing our involvement in the bourgeoning LNG industry both in Western Australia and Queensland," added Munro.
Work is expected to begin onsite in early fourth quarter of 2012 and is expected to be completed in early 2014.
Thiess said it is the fourth contract on the Chevron-operated Wheatstone project.
Bechtel has previously contracted Thiess in joint venture with various international partners to construct the materials offloading facility and LNG and condensate tanks.
The company will also deliver the Wheatstone microtunnel and a construction village and the site preparation and temporary facilities for Chevron on the Gorgon LNG project at Barrow Island.
