The project involves construction of a new three-kilometre, 45-metre-wide runway, and is a critical step forward in Perth Airport’s $5 billion transformation which will create greater passenger capacity and operational efficiency.
ACS Group and HOCHTIEF Chief Executive Officer and CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said:
“These upgrades will set the benchmark for the development of Perth Airport’s new parallel runway, and will play a vital role in supporting economic growth across Western Australia and nationally. Our expert team at CPB Contractors prioritises local employment, skills creation and sustainable construction ensuring long-term value for communities.”
CPB Contractors Managing Director Jason Spears said:
“CPB Contractors is a well-established leader in aviation infrastructure with more than 10 major works packages delivered in as many years, and I’m looking forward to seeing the team create a positive legacy for industry with our intelligent earthworks approach, unmatched safety record and award-winning paving and asphalt solutions.”
