The team assembled by Aurecon incorporates specialists in management and varied technical delivery areas with a strong local presence and access to the broader Aurecon transmission and distribution team.

“We adopt a ‘design for construction’ approach, where design works are specifically engineered so that they can be safely and efficiently constructed,” David said.

This project furthers the partnership between Aurecon and SA Power Networks where Aurecon’s team is enhanced with specialist skills, knowledge from SA Power Networks’ engineering team for its successful delivery.
