Duratec (DUR) has been awarded a $50 million aircraft fuel hydrant main construction contract.
This contract marks the first stage and an important part of the airport fuel infrastructure at the Western Sydney Airport development.
The airport is a transformational project that will generate economic activity, provide employment opportunities and meet Sydney’s growing aviation demand.

“This project aligns with the strategic objectives of sustainably growing and developing the business through specialised service offerings to a range of sectors.”
