HOCHTIEF Goup company CPB Contractors, a subsidiary of CIMIC Group, has been selected by Australia Pacific Airports (Melbourne) to deliver stage two of the Melbourne Airport Naarm Way Project, encompassing a road and forecourt works. This is the second project that CPB Contractors is delivering at Melbourne Airport, having been awarded the Qantas T1 Security and Screening Project in December 2023. The two projects will generate revenue of approximately AUD 260 million for CPB Contractors.

With passenger numbers at the airport expected to double to nearly 76 million by 2042, these critical works will futureproof landside passenger and freight access, providing a more enjoyable customer experience.

HOCHTIEF CEO Juan Santamaría: “These upgrades will set a new standard in visitor and customer experience at Melbourne Airport, easing congestion and saving time at both at passenger drop-off and pick-up, and at security screening.”

The scope of work for stage two of the Airport project includes construction of a 18-metre-wide pedestrian bridge and gateway from the T123 carpark to the terminals, forecourt reconfiguration, a vertical transport hub, and reconfiguration of the T123 carpark. The project is set for completion in late 2026.

HOCHTIEF companies are currently expanding a large number of airports, including those in Sydney, Brisbane, Los Angeles and Des Moines (Iowa).
