About the Destroyer Capability Enhancement program:
The SEA4000 Phase 3 Air Warfare Destroyer (AWD) Project delivered three Hobart Class Destroyers (DDGs) and their Support System, with the last DDG commissioned in May 2020. In order to ensure the DDG capability can continue to operate within a dynamic maritime environment, the DDG platform will undergo a series of capability updates, upgrades and sustainment driven engineering changes. Collectively this is known as the Destroyer Capability Enhancement (DCE) and will occur over the next decade at the Osborne Naval Shipyard.
The Destroyer Capability Enhancement program forms part of the realisation of the Future Maritime Sustainment Model under Plan Galileo; released by the Department of Defence in 2019. The Maritime Sustainment Model is a fleet-wide, whole-of-life approach to sustainment to increase efficiency and minimise duplication across the Australian naval maritime domain.
The DCE program will be delivered at the Osborne Naval Shipyard in Osborne, South Australia. The three DDGs will be upgraded in series, commencing in mid-2025 with HMAS Hobart.
This presents opportunities for subcontractors across a range of capabilities including (but not limited to) electrical, outfit, support services, fabrication, insulation, mechanical, machining and platform maintenance.

The purpose of the EOI is to assess the feasibility of industry partners to provide Pipe Spools Clean and Test - Off Ship to support upcoming tasks in the DCE phases of production pilot, upgrades, and maintenance.
Pipe spool clean and test - off ship, occurs when new pipe spools are fabricated. During fabrication, pipes and/or fittings are joined together using the welding and braising process standards. The pipe spool then requires cleaning and testing, prior to install onboard the ship.
The clean and test process includes thorough cleaning with a high-pressure cleaner and pig gun to eliminate contaminants, bathing, and pressure testing to validate spool integrity.
Off ship pipe flushing and testing is limited to pipe spools that do not require welding onboard.
Specialist cleaning and coating will be determined by specification and build process according to design requirements.
