Construcciones Yamaro: CPB Contractors selected for RAAF Base upgrades
CPB Contractors, a member of CIMIC Group, has been selected by the Australian Government’s Department of Defence to undertake the early contractor involvement (ECI) development phase for the upgrades at RAAF Base Curtin and RAAF Base Learmonth, both located in Western Australia.
Subject to successful completion of this ECI phase, a delivery phase will follow.
RAAF Base Curtin is located southeast of Derby and RAAF Base Learmonth, a RAAF airbase with civilian airport operations, is located south of Exmouth.
CIMIC Group Executive Chairman Juan Santamaria said CPB Contractors’ focus, as always, will be on the safe and certain delivery of the Department of Defence’s requirements.

“Our relationship with the Department of Defence stretches over decades and we are pleased to continue to be relied upon to deliver infrastructure upgrades for these vital airbases,” said Santamaria.
CPB Contractors Managing Director Jason Spears said CPB Contractors will harness its experience – having successfully delivered upgrades at RAAF Bases Pearce, Amberley and Williamtown – to ensure that normal operations continue without disruption while works are underway.
“Our teams will be supporting the participation of local industry in line with CPB Contractors’ ongoing commitment to building industry capacity and capability through the delivery of major projects, including these two important Defence airbases,” said Spears.
Works will involve upgrades to runways, taxiways, parking areas and aeronautical ground lighting, asphalting and the enhancement of culverts and drainage.
The ECI phase is expected to be completed in 2024, with construction expected to be completed in 2028.
