Australian engineering, construction, and remediation contractor Duratec Limited ( Duratec or the Company ) (ASX: DUR), is pleased to announce that it has received formal notice of award for a $110 million New Aviation Refueling Facility construction subcontract, an integral part of the USFPI RAAF Base Tindal Airfield Works and Associated Infrastructure Project. The subcontract works are intended to be a “turn-key” delivery whereby Duratec is fully responsible for the delivery of the work under the subcontract with documented operational and fitness for purpose outcomes. Standard for this type of agreement, the subcontract terms and conditions include termination provisions.

Site access documentation works have already commenced, and the project is due for completion in August 2024 .

This major project award along with an accumulation of minor contract awards has boosted the current Defencefocussed order book to $230 million and the Company’s total order book to $425 million and $1.8 billion in tangible opportunities.

Duratec Managing Director Phil Harcourt said Duratec’s specialist fuel infrastructure team has secured this significant project award having submitted a very professional and compelling submission which demonstrates a thorough understanding of the brief and the skills required to successfully deliver it in a remote location. This energy project award follows the 12[th] November announcement of a $50 million Aviation Fuel reticulation network project awarded to Duratec at the new Western Sydney International Airport and complements growth in our Energy sector.

“Having a highly capable local presence in both Darwin and Katherine since 2014 is a significant advantage enabling us to provide multiple alternative personnel for key roles and the ability to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on workforce availability.”

Defence continues to be a key strategic focus for Duratec, which currently has a presence on 52 Defence Bases in Australia delivering whole-of-life projects upgrading important Base assets for the Defence Estate and Infrastructure Group, the infrastructure and service delivery arm of the Australian Department of Defence.

“We are confident of strong growth in the Defence sector based on the level of work available and our track record of delivery. In addition, we are confident of ongoing growth in our other key sectors, including Mining & Industrial, Buildings & Facades, Ports, and Transport with total tendered works of $550 million across the group within a $1.8 billion pipeline of opportunities in our sights,” Mr Harcourt said.

Authorised for release to ASX by the Board of Duratec Limited.
