It was a delight to be part of the Kangaroo Point Bridge opening celebrations recently! Delivering this extraordinary public infrastructure project in partnership with Brisbane City Council has been a significant milestone in our journey. We’ve consistently contributed to building Brisbane’s skyline since 1983 and take pride in having delivered this latest landmark. 🌉 We’ve had a remarkable journey these last few years thanks to the efforts of the BESIX Watpac team, our consortium partners and subcontractors – as well as providing numerous graduates, apprentices, trainees and student groups with the opportunity to learn about delivering major public infrastructure projects. ✨ 🎥Take a look back at the construction of the Kangaroo Point Bridge. #BuildingTheBestTogether

We recently hit the kitchen and put our knife skills to the test, creating fresh, healthy, and delicious meals with the incredible OzHarvest team! This experience not only taught us valuable lessons on reducing food waste and minimising our environmental impact but also gave us the chance to prepare meals that truly make a difference for those in need. A big thank you to OzHarvest’s Cooking for a Cause team! 💛 The impact OzHarvest has on those doing it tough is immeasurable, and we’re incredibly proud to support such a vital cause. #BuildingTheBestTogether #NourishingTheNation Mark Baker Sandra Nilsen Chris Woolnough Emily Brooks

We're still buzzing with excitement from joining the Brisbane community at the grand opening of the Kangaroo Point Bridge over the weekend 🎉 It was fantastic to hear from our CEO Mark Baker, Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, Civic Cabinet Chair for Transport Councillor Ryan Murphy, and Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government The Hon Catherine King at the ceremony. Seeing this remarkable piece of infrastructure being used as intended and celebrating alongside Brisbane City Council and our delivery partners makes us incredibly proud. Over the last few years, our team has worked tirelessly along with our Connect Brisbane consortium partners, subcontractors and stakeholders to reach this point and deliver an exceptional bridge for Brisbane City Council and the local community. 🎥 Take a bird’s eye view of Brisbane’s newest icon! #publicinfrastructure #buildingthebesttogether #localbuilder

Flashback Friday | Spanning an area larger than four football fields, the Military Vehicle Centre of Excellence is pivotal for the manufacture, sustainment, and export of military vehicles, turrets, and tactical systems for Australia’s Department of Defence. ✨ As the first facility of its kind in Southeast Queensland, this 11-hectare site significantly enhances Australia’s national defence capabilities. Beyond its role as a production facility, it boasts unique features such as an outdoor vehicle test track, an electromagnetic compatibility chamber, and a fully enclosed weapons test firing range, making it an essential asset for modern defence operations. #BuildingTheBestTogether #SecureFacilityBuilders #DefenceBuilders

One New Zealand Stadium at Te Kaha is steadily taking shape. This world-class arena that we’re delivering in partnership with Christchurch City Council is set to leave a lasting legacy for Canterbury, New Zealand.

The installation of Renewal SA’s Deep Maintenance and Modification Facility’s first box truss is now complete. This is the first of four trusses, each weighing an impressive 130 tonnes – equivalent to the weight of an Arctic blue whale! At 58 metres long, it required 12 truckloads of steel, including 6 oversized frames. Each truss takes over 2,140 hours to fabricate and an additional 2,000 hours in the paint shop, using more than 3,000 litres of paint! ✨ #BuildingTheBestTogether #DefenceProject Video credit: INNOVIS Consulting
