Australian engineering, construction and remediation contractor Duratec Limited ( Duratec or the Company ) (ASX: DUR), is pleased to announce that the Duratec - Ertech JV, (DEJV) has been awarded a $53 million Design and Construction wharf project.

Initial works have commenced, and the project is due for completion in September 2023. The DEJV was formed in 2019 with civil construction business Ertech Group .

Separately in recent months, Duratec has been awarded $32 million in other Defence works projects, boosting the current Defence-focussed order book to $110 million and the Company’s total order book to $230 million.

Duratec Managing Director Phil Harcourt said the DEJV was able to draw on the individual skill sets, industry sector knowledge and experience from each business. “Both companies have significant individual strengths in large-scale maritime construction, but our close history and relationship also means we can leverage corporate and cultural synergies to deliver the best project solution for clients.

We are well-regarded for the ability of our experienced teams to deliver in often very challenging conditions, while also understanding the importance of maintaining Defence capability and security.”

Defence continues to be a key strategic focus for Duratec, which currently has a presence on 37 of the 75 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. Duratec currently has $200 million in Defence tenders submitted and awaiting decision and $1 billion in tangible opportunities.

In addition, we are confident of ongoing growth in our other key sectors, including mining and industrial, buildings and facades, ports and transport with total tendered works of $635 million across the group and a $2.2 billion pipeline of opportunities in our sights,” Mr Harcourt said.
