Highlights include Geoff Wood’s advice to Veolia Water on the Sydney Desalination Plant, the largest of its kind in the world, and Andrew Chew’s continuing role acting for RiverCity Motorway Consortium on its successful bid for the A$1.9bn North-South Bypass Tunnel. The group’s client base includes the likes of Laing O’Rourke, Thiess and Multiplex.
