The contract will generate revenue to CPB Contractors of
approximately $180 million. CIMIC Group Chief Executive Officer Adolfo
Valderas said: “The CIMIC Group’s diverse capabilities and major project
experience position us strongly for Department of Defence works, such
as the C‐17A project.
“Our track record is underpinned by the
effective completion of challenging building and engineering works,
often undertaken in complex and fully‐operational environments, and
without disruption to critical activities or services.”
CPB
Contractors Managing Director Román Garrido said: “Our team’s history of
successfully delivering defence infrastructure is extensive and
includes the flexible and responsive management of works programs so
that they are delivered on time and within budget.
“The C‐17A
project is significant in that it will upgrade aircraft fleet facilities
to world‐class standard and improve the engineering and maintenance
operations at the RAAF’s largest base in Australia.”
As managing
contractor, CPB Contractors will deliver a new maintenance facility,
aircraft apron and associated airfield infrastructure and ground support
equipment facilities.
Construction is scheduled to commence in February 2017 and conclude in October 2018.
The RAAF Base Amberley is located 40km south‐west of Brisbane on the outskirts of Ipswich.
