WATPAC has won its first job in Australia's top end, a $42 million design and construct contract to expand Darwin International Airport.
Watpac CEO Martin Monro said the win forms part of the company’s strategy to expand its core construction business into new operating regions.
“Watpac has a proud 30â€year history of delivering landmark projects across Australia and we’re very pleased to be entering the Northern Territory market with such a significant project.
“Our appointment to undertake the Darwin International Airport expansion follows our recent work on the $75 million Adelaide Airport Landside Infrastructure Project, which achieved practical completion last month with zero lost time injuries,” he added.
The Darwin International Airport project will involve the expansion of the domestic and international terminals and deliver additional departure gate lounge areas and security screening zones, new office and retail areas, and improved baggage systems.
The project is scheduled for completion in midâ€2014.
