Babcock Opens $31 Million Facility in Adelaide to Support Australian Defence Programs

Babcock has officially inaugurated a state-of-the-art facility in Woodville North, Adelaide, aimed at bolstering its manufacturing and repair capabilities to support the Australian Army and Navy programs. The facility represents a significant investment of $31 million Australian dollars (approximately $20.5 million), and is designed to enhance asset management for various defense applications, including Counter Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive capacities.

Key operational functions of the new center will include the in-service sustainment and life-extension programs for Collins-class submarines, systems development for Hunter-class frigates, and future tasks linked to the trilateral AUKUS submarine initiative. Spanning 6,000 square meters (approximately 64,583 square feet), the site features dedicated workshops totaling around 4,000 square meters, while an additional 2,000 square meters will cater to administrative functions.

Babcock has highlighted that the center will be staffed with over 100 engineers and technical specialists. It is expected to become fully operational by the end of the year, ultimately taking over activities currently conducted at the companyโ€™s Osborne site. This development is anticipated to provide a substantial boost to the local employment landscape, with about 200 jobs supported during the construction phase, which was carried out in collaboration with Tandem Building Group.

Andrew Cridland, CEO of Babcock Australasia, expressed enthusiasm about the facility, stating, โ€œThis cutting-edge facility underpins our commitment to our defence customers by positioning us at the forefront of national defence capabilities.โ€ He emphasized the companyโ€™s mission to foster a safe and secure world, indicating that the new center will serve as a hub for collaboration and professional growth for emerging engineers dedicated to defense services. Cridland underscored the importance of nurturing local talent and providing opportunities for career advancement within Adelaideโ€™s defense sector.

The establishment of this facility not only marks a significant step for Babcock in enhancing defense support for Australiaโ€™s military, but also reinforces the companyโ€™s long-term commitment to innovation and excellence in the realm of national security.
