Duratec (ASX:DUR) received a contract worth around AU$68 million from Clough BMD joint venture to deliver construction and commissioning works for the Darwin Ship Lift Facility in northern Australia, according to a Wednesday filing with the Australian bourse.

The project, led by the Northern Territory Government, is a major infrastructure initiative to position Darwin as a maritime services hub for defense, border protection, energy, tourism, and aquaculture vessels, per the filing.

The company's scope of work includes the construction of a blast and paint facility and washdown bay slab, as well as the installation and commissioning of systems such as dust collectors, tanks, water treatment, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, communications, electrical, and hydraulic systems, the filing said.

Construction is scheduled to start in June and is expected to be completed between mid and late 2027, the filing added.
