Duratec was engaged by Augility on behalf of the Department of Defence for the general maintenance and repair to eight buildings within Duntroon.
Buildings included Nimmo House, the Apple Shed, Female OR Accommodation, RMC Oval Pavilion, Duntroon Pool Plant Room, Patterson Hall, Barracks Block, and the Duntroon School House.
