LEND Lease’s subsidiary Abigroup has won a national Defence contract to prepare RAAF airbases to receive the air force’s next generation of fighter jets.
Abigroup has been awarded the contract for the planning phase of the New Air Combat Capability facilities two phase project which involves a combination of new and refurbished facilities on 10 Defence sites around Australia as the new Joint Strike Fighter F-35 Lightning II jets are phased in.
The bulk of the work is proposed to occur at RAAF Bases Williamtown, north of Newcastle, and Tindal, in the Northern Territory.
Additional work is proposed for eight other RAAF bases located at Townsville, Amberley and Scherger on the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Learmonth, Curtin and Pearce in Western Australia, Edinburgh, north of Adelaide, and Darwin.
“We have already successfully completed a number of defence projects across Australia and have demonstrated sensitivity to security measures and an ability to work across multiple sites to strict budgets and specifications,” Abigroup’s managing director David Jurd said.
