We develop innovative and cost-saving solutions in response to next generation infrastructure, resources and services needs. As each project brings its own unique mix of challenges and opportunities – our flexible, tailored and collaborative approach allows us to deliver smarter, safer, faster outcomes. For our clients this means greater value and certainty.
When you engage us, you engage a passionate, innovative and determined team which will make a difference and deliver industry-leading sustainable outcomes. We believe in working in the spirit of ‘one team’ and building enduring relationships based on performance, trust and mutual benefit. We value the process – how we do things, as well as the outcome – the end result.
Ultimately we construct state-of-the-art, environmentally sustainable infrastructure; we dig using the most efficient and productive plant available; and we connect essential services with minimal impact to communities.
Our size, diversity, asset-base and strong balance sheet empower us to invest in exciting new ventures and projects. As one of the industry’s most profitable companies with the largest fleet of plant, we have great depth to support our undertakings, including the ability to rapidly expand or replace plant and equipment to meet project requirements. This capacity gives us great confidence to take on challenging and ambitious projects and gives our clients peace of mind that we will see things through.
Vital to our growth is an investment strategy where key acquisitions enable us to strengthen our capability and expand our resource base. In addition to our own financial strength, our success in PPPs demonstrates our well-established and strong business partnerships with many financing institutions.
Every aspect of our business is underpinned by our determination to achieve first class outcomes for our clients. We have experience across the full range of contracts and the ability to work effectively within all contract models. Within these arrangements and their unique requirements, we provide flexible and tailored project delivery that is focused on achieving the best results. Whether we construct only or design and construct; operate as managing contractor or construction manager; work within a cost reimbursable incentivised alliance or PPP contract; one thing remains constant – our “one team” approach.
Our size and experience ensures fast mobilisation of teams and on-time delivery within budget and to the highest standards of quality, irrespective of contract type. Across our operations, we remain focused on setting new benchmarks and continuously improving our performance.
With roots founded in regional Australia, we have maintained a large regional presence. Our diverse project base gives us the ability to respond quickly to client needs and deploy additional teams to remote locations at short notice. We understand the sensitivities of working in regional areas and are committed to engaging Indigenous communities and providing local training and employment opportunities.
We seek to seamlessly and positively integrate into the social fabric of local communities and value-add to those communities as much as possible. We encourage sponsorships, traineeships and in-kind support to assist community needs. With a leading role on some of Australia’s largest projects, we are also skilled at managing and developing a diverse workforce. In our Gorgon project, key human resources were recruited, trained in Perth and then deployed to Western Australia’s remote Barrow Island. Our ability to secure a significant number of skilled people not only supports timely project completion, but also provides greater connectivity to our communities both today and into the future.
We strongly value our relationships with clients, business partners, suppliers, subcontractors and communities. Our project achievements are a result of dynamic collaboration. By engaging with our clients at the earliest opportunity we can more confidently deliver on the needs of all stakeholders and bring greater benefit through value engineering, optioneering and constructability workshops.
As a powerful infrastructure partner we have extensive experience in relationship-based contracting and integrating design through to operations and maintenance to achieve whole-of-life solutions.
We nurture relationships with our stakeholders to implement construction delivery schedules, develop optimum staging requirements and, where relevant, ensure that project activities progress with minimal disruption to communities and the environment. In the mining sector our contracts are long lasting and are often extended and expanded over the life of the mine. In the services sector, we hold some of the longest running alliance contracts in Australian business history. Our success in delivering many long term contracts is underpinned by our philosophy to challenge ourselves by demanding more from our performance and outcomes.
Through our civil, mining, services, industrial, tunnelling, rail and building expertise we are able to manage every phase of a project. As a result, complex, multi-disciplined projects are delivered by taking a whole-of-life approach with single point accountability.
Our integrated approach allows us to leverage our knowledge and experience; offer the right balance between capex and opex spending; reduce the number of project interfaces while achieving greater efficiencies in project management and resourcing; and minimise overall project costs and construction risks. From smart planning and integrated design, to lean construction and seamless transition between project phases, to asset management operation and maintenance, every aspect of our delivery is focused on achieving best-in-class outcomes for our clients.
