Project Win: Stage 2 of Hanwha’s H-ACE Facility

Kapitol has been awarded Stage 2 of Hanwha Defence Australia’s Hanwha Armoured vehicle Centre of Excellence (H-ACE), a major step in expanding our expertise into the defence sector.

This project will play a critical role in supporting the delivery of 129 Redback Infantry Fighting Vehicles.

Located in Avalon, Victoria, Stage 2 of the 32,000 sqm facility will include the following:

• EMI/EMC chamber (for electromagnetic testing)
• Enclosed firing range
• Second production line
• Vehicle and equipment storage
• Heavy washdown facility

With prefabrication and advanced planning, we’re ensuring that construction is delivered efficiently, securely, and in line with the Defence Strategic Review’s accelerated timeline.
