Arup opened a new office in Adelaide this month. The engineering firm said the office was a response to continued infrastructure growth in South Australia.
“South Australia is currently experiencing a boom in infrastructure investment with a record total of AUD 80bn (USD 79.06bn) worth of major developments occurring or planned for the State,” said Patrick Conlon, minister for infrastructure and transport, who attended the opening function.
“Investment spending by South Australia’s private sector is at an all time high, according to the latest ABS statistics – growth in South Australia’s private new capital expenditure over 2010 was 17.9 per cent, the highest in the country and more than three times the national figure”.
John Haese, Arup’s Adelaide office leader said, “It’s an important time for all of us, as the Government and industry looks to revitalise rail and transport networks and implement the 30 year plan including increased focus on transit oriented developments.”
