Successful delivery of our third recent defence facility

In by Claire Corcoran

We are excited to share the successful completion of Babcock Australasia’s manufacturing and maintenance facility, a project that reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in the defence sector. This Commercial & General development strengthens Australia’s national defence capabilities while contributing to our state’s economic growth.

Built on strong partnerships with Commercial & General and Babcock, we are proud to have delivered this state-of-the-art 6,000m² facility. The project incorporates a custom built manufacturing workshop and warehouse, high-quality office space, and central town hall-style conference area, with modern amenities such as end-of-trip facilities and outdoor staff areas.

With 200 construction roles and 70,000 hours of on-site work over a 12-month build programme, this achievement reflects the collaborative efforts of our integrated team. Together with Commercial & General, we have delivered tailored development and construction solutions to provide Babcock with a sector-leading facility. Tandem’s ability to deliver projects across Victoria, Queensland and South Australia reinforces our expertise and geographic reach.

Aligned with Babcock’s Plan Zero 40 roadmap, the facility is designed with enhanced sustainability in mind, with key features including rainwater harvesting, large-scale rooftop solar, all electric plant and equipment, and charging facilities for electric fleet vehicles.
