TSA Management

The wait is over.   For the past four years, we've grown towards a single purpose: helping clients and communities realise the transformative power of their built assets.   Welcome to our new brand: TSA Riley.   Across the world, we work across the project lifecycle, giving our clients a holistic, end-to-end view of their projects to realise impact and value. Together, we plan, procure, deliver, optimise, and decarbonise. We call this project consulting. We are one global firm, 1000 strong. We are... TSA Riley.

We are privileged to contribute to some incredibly impactful projects, and this one is a great example. TSA is proud to announce our collaboration with The Fred Hollows Foundation NZ. Tasked with providing project management services for the project from design through to final handover, we’ll be working closely with Fred Hollows to deliver this facility for the people of Papua New Guinea. #TeamTSA #FredHollowsNZ #TSAAotearoa #CommunityImpact #ProjectManagement

A new chapter is coming soon...

We must design, build and rebuild for the future instead of the past. This year, we've seen devastating floods in Australia, the US, the Persian Gulf states, Afghanistan, China, Kenya, and Brazil. Catastrophic reminders that it's time to rethink built environment risk assessments for extreme rainfall.   This Australian Geographic article highlights the gap between rainfall trends accepted by most Australian design standards and actual trends observed by scientists. The industry understanding is that for each degree Celsius of global warming, extreme rainfall increases by 5%. The observed reality is closer to between 14% and 21%. And sub-hourly rainfall rates are increasing even faster. A recent Sydney-based study suggests a 40% increase in sub-hourly rainfall over the past 20 years. This means more flash flooding and heightened riverine flood risks as our built environment is overwhelmed by climate change-induced downpours.   The devastating impact of extreme rainfall events lingers long after water levels recede. As flood insurance costs climb, so does vulnerability across the global economy. So, what can we do?   We can design, build, and rebuild for the future instead of the past. We can shift from RE-thinking (recovery, repair, restoration, reconstruction) to PRE-thinking (preparedness, prevention, precaution). We can incorporate prevention into the pre-project design for reconstruction efforts instead of focusing on rapid repairs using designs and materials that led to these issues in the first place.   TSA helps clients ensure resilience and adaptability by adopting proactive prevention and preparedness design strategies for the future.

Members of our Melbourne team spent Friday pounding the pavement for a great cause. Organised by the Property Industry Foundation, the annual Steps for Homeless Youth fundraiser helps build bedrooms for vulnerable and at-risk young people. TSA's Alicia Wee, Maxine Catchlove, Leon Gray, Martin Kay, Oscar Roberts, William Harrison, Lucy Botta, Maria Fernanda Hoyos and Antonia Ruiz Hoyos laced up their sneakers, running 5km and 10km to support vulnerable, young Aussies. Incredible work, team! And a special mention to our youngest runner, Antonia - what a marathon effort to kickstart the Mother's Day weekend! #TeamTSA #TSAVIC #PIF #PropertyIndustryFoundation #StepsForHomelessYouth #MakingADifference #CommunityImpact 

Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers - biological, adoptive, step, foster, grand, and every mother figure shaping children's lives. At TSA, we also want to celebrate the many extraordinary working mums who make our business what it is.   No one should ever be disadvantaged in the workplace because of their commitment to their children, just as their career shouldn't compromise their role in their children's lives. That's why we have a range of supportive, family-friendly policies offering flexibility and understanding to the working parents of TSA. It's also why we provide generous and flexible paid parental leave. Even so, working mothers shoulder a tremendous load, and we admire and learn from their grace and tenacity.   To TSA's working mothers (and all mother figures everywhere!), thank you for all that you do. You are the storytellers, lunch packers, Pokémon players, homework helpers, scrape kissers, temperature takers, personal shoppers, soccer coaches and cuddle givers who shape your children's futures and the success of this business each day.    Finally, we understand that Mother's Day can be a challenging time for some, and we acknowledge those journeys. #TeamTSA #MothersDay #WorkingMums #ParentalLeave #SupportiveWorkplace #MotherFigures #WorkingParents #ThankYouMum

Instant noodles, career pathways and embodied carbon were all on the table at the University of Canterbury STEM Careers Fair this week. Rob Verbakel, Simon Winfield, Gabrielle Fuller and Thomas Wood of TSA’s Ōtautahi Christchurch team spent the day answering questions and engaging with students. The attendees flexed their engineering brains with a mi goreng tower-building competition. There was also a guessing comp for students to estimate how many tonnes of carbon were saved through adaptive reuse on one of TSA’s local projects. Gabrielle said it was great to see how engaged the students were and how many had attended with a specific interest in project consulting as a career. She also noted a common theme relating to TSA’s graduate programme and the opportunities offered by our global presence. The future is looking bright for the construction industry, and our team loved the opportunity to inspire the next generation. #STEMCareers #UniversityofCanterbury #TSA #Engineering #CareerPathways #Sustainability #CarbonFootprint #AdaptiveReuse #ProjectConsulting #GraduateProgramme #InspiringTheNextGeneration

Inclusivity is fundamental to our business. From beginning to end, accessibility is at the forefront of our projects. Our Sydney team were thrilled to hear from Nick Morris, who is not only a gold medal Paralympian, but also director of Morris Goding Accessibility Consulting (MGAC - A Jensen Hughes Company). Nick was joined by fellow MGAC Paralympian (and multi-gold medallist) Evan O'Hanlon OAM. They shared their personal stories and spoke about universal design and accessibility compliance with Australia’s Disability Discrimination Act. Key takeaways included: 💡Disability is a mismatch between the needs and preferences of people and an environment. Accessibility is about making sure an environment can accommodate and support everyone’s diverse needs.  💡We need to be mindful of language. Use ‘accessibility needs’ not ‘disability access’. Keep up to date with terminology and don’t be afraid to ask questions,  💡Accessibility access can’t just be a feature; it must be standard. We need to integrate inclusive design principles at the planning phase. At TSA, we want our projects to have positive community impacts for generations to come – inclusive and accessible design is central to this goal. Thank you to Nick Morris and Evan O’Hanlon for sharing your invaluable experiences and insights with our team. #TeamTSA #MGAC #PositiveImpact #TransformativeImpact #Inclusivity #AccessibilityNeeds #UniversalDesign #AccessibleDesign 

Since 2017, TSA has closely collaborated with Health Infrastructure to plan and deliver the new Tweed Valley Hospital. Through continuous engagement and consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, HI is tailoring healthcare to meet the unique needs of Indigenous communities while advancing reconciliation each step of the way. We can only design infrastructure for Indigenous people by designing infrastructure with Indigenous people and working hand in hand with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to create culturally supportive spaces is never more critical than in healthcare settings. #TeamTSA #HINSW #HealthInfrastructure #HealthPlanning #HealthDelivery #NSW #NSWGovernment #Health #NSWHealth #Infrastructure #Hospital #TweedHeads #TweedValley #NorthernNSW #AboriginalArtwork
