Babcock Australasia’s manufacturing and maintenance facility was successfully delivered by the Commercial & General Group from inception through to completion. This project reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in the defence sector, allowing this development to strengthen Australia’s national defence capabilities while contributing to our state’s economic growth.
Built on strong partnerships, we are proud to have delivered this state-of-the-art 4,000m2 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, this achievement reflects the collaborative efforts of our integrated team, delivering tailored development and construction solutions to provide Babcock Australia & New Zealand 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.
