Duratec (ASX:DUR) has added to a series of recent contract wins with the award of a construction management contract at Orica’s Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub (HVHH) in New South Wales.

The new work comes alongside three additional contract awards across Duratec’s core energy, marine and mining & industrial sectors. Together, the four contract awards have a combined value of approximately $70 million.

Managing director Chris Oates told shareholders that the HVHH contract is an important step in Duratec’s expansion into future energy and fuel infrastructure markets, and that it positions the company to support the broader energy transition and decarbonisation of industrial operations.

He said the award also builds on Duratec’s recent acquisitions in the Hunter Region, which have established a local workforce, supply chain access and delivery capability in a critical energy corridor. That, he said, enhances the group’s ability to self-perform and capture greater value across the project lifecycle.

“The Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub is an important project within Australia’s emerging hydrogen industry, and we are pleased to partner with Orica to support its delivery,” Mr Oates said.

“This award reflects Duratec’s ongoing expansion into the energy and decarbonisation sector, building on our recently established presence in the Hunter Region and demonstrating our ability to deliver complex infrastructure projects through a combination of self-perform and local capability.”

In addition to the HVHH award, Duratec has landed contracts for:
