Clough, in a joint venture with BAM, was awarded the constructability and technical support input for the Front-End Engineering Design works for the Ship Lift and Marine Industries Project in Darwin, Northern Territory.

The project involves a ship lift facility for lifting vessels from the water for dry docking and maintenance works, and a common user area, being a hardstand area, available for ship repair and maintenance works.

The project will allow the infrastructure to have the capacity to lift vessels more than 90 meters in length, including the Australian Defence Forces’ new offshore patrol vessel fleet.
