This project exemplifies the meaningful and impactful work that we are proud to undertake. It highlights our dedication to technical excellence, client service, and making a difference in the communities where we operate.

We also led the environmental approvals for Marinus Link: a 1,500 MW subsea and on-land transmission project linking Tasmania and Victoria. Our approach successfully navigated the challenges of this multi-jurisdictional project to deliver one of Australia's most complex renewable energy impact assessments and set of approval documents.
