CIMIC Group 2 mins read

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.”

The enabling and landside airfield scope of works includes:

  • Demolition of existing buildings and pavements on the site, including Grogan Road
  • Diversion of existing utilities and storm water drains
  • Ground preparation and earthworks including the placement of more than one million cubic metres of fill material
  • Perimeter security fencing, security systems, and access gates
  • Airfield perimeter, emergency, and facility access roads
  • Airfield pavements – runway, taxiway, shoulder, and jet blast areas
  • Airfield ground lighting, movement area guidance signs, and pavement marking
  • Low voltage and communications systems and electrical equipment rooms
  • Airfield drainage and landscaping.
