The Project

The AIR 5431 Defence Air Traffic Control (ATC) and Airfield Systems Project is an Australian Defence Force project, located at select bases across the nation upgrading Air Traffic Control Towers.
Lendlease engaged VAE group to undertake the major mechanical works to an extension of the existing Airfield Systems Complex (ASC), new ATC, and new Energy Building at Darwin International Airport. The scope also included an extension to the chilled water plant serving both the existing and new buildings. The new ATC tower is a 50m high multi-level facility accommodating a control cabin, external observation deck and crew rest area, amenities, kitchenette, and plant room. The exiting tower was demolished following the commissioning of the new facility. The ASC upgrade included substantial extension to the existing building to accommodate future equipment for Phase 3, whilst existing equipment remained operational. VAE are thrilled to have completed another project with Lendlease and the Department of Defence in the NT.

RAAF Base Darwin - New Air Traffic Control Tower Construction *** Local Caption *** Under the joint Defence / Airservices Australia ‘OneSKY’ program, a completely new fit-out of state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control (ATC) equipment necessitated the construction of a new ATC tower at RAAF Base Darwin. Defence contractors Lendlease commenced works in July 2019 at the site of the joint military and civilian airfield (also leased by Darwin International Airport). The project will enable the seamless and continued delivery of Air Traffic Services for the region. Royal Australian Air Force Air Traffic Controllers and Communications Electronics Technicians from Number 452 Squadron who support both military and civilian air movements (both domestic and international) will transfer to the new facility once installation of ATC systems and software are complete. The new tower and accompanying facilities are essential infrastructure to continue to safely manage ground and airspace operations around RAAF Base Darwin.
