Designing another Australian-first: a 100 metre stress ribbon pedestrian bridge that is only 450 millimetres thick, yet robust enough to meet demanding accessibility, wind and loading conditions.
Projects like this remind us that elegance only matters when it is backed by rigorous performance. In this case, the bridge’s visual lightness is matched by rigorous engineering to accommodate heavy loading, withstand wind, and provide inclusive access for all users.

This is the first post in a three part series on this bridge: how the 100 metre stress ribbon span was realised, how its structural behaviour differs from conventional pedestrian bridges, and how a bespoke finite element modelling approach, developed by BG&E bridge engineer Bruce Gibbens, was used to capture its performance over time.

Follow along as we explore how the bridge works and how we tested it in the next posts.

The most powerful moments at the Women in Construction Summit Melbourne were about people who quietly open doors for others.

In his panel, David Collett reflected on the impact of male allies who use their positions to support women, speak up, and ensure credit is given. He shared that leadership isn’t granted; you don’t need a title to lead through your actions, decisions, and support for your team.

He clarified that mentors help you grow, while sponsors advocate for you. The challenge: be better allies, seek mentors, and sponsor future leaders.

Water shapes communities. And the people who design water infrastructure shape the future.

This week, SYSTRA ANZ and BG&E – Part of SYSTRA shared the floor at Ozwater'26 in Brisbane, our first co-branded presence since joining forces in late 2025.

Together, we brought a unified offering across the full water infrastructure lifecycle: treatment plants, pipelines, pump stations, stormwater management and trenchless solutions, backed by specialists in civil and structural engineering, hydraulic modelling, geotechnical investigation, and materials durability.

More than 1,000 professionals across ANZ. One shared commitment to engineering that works for communities, now and long term.

A big thank you to the Ozwater'26 organisers for having us, and to everyone who stopped by our stand (and grabbed a coffee ☕). Those conversations are what it's all about.

Last month, our team was at the Floodplain Management Australia Conference 2026 to discuss what flood resilience really looks like on the ground - in remote communities, on critical roads, and through the long tail of recovery.

Behind both of our sessions was a common thread: how flooding and hydrology can help keep people connected when major events put pressure on already vulnerable networks.

Sima Safarkhani shared the story of the Great Northern Highway Upgrade – Fitzroy River Bridge to GoGo Station Section, walking through how careful flood analysis translated into more resilient road levels, smarter floodways and better road serviceability and survivability in a remote, flood affected corridor.

Daniel Wood, in Chasing your tail – Building Resilience while Recovering, focused on Dunbar Koolatah Road scour and the reality of disaster recovery in isolated regions, where off the shelf fixes often don’t work, and solutions need to be tailored to place, materials and access.

These are the kinds of questions our flooding and hydrology team is working through every day. If you’re working in floodplain management, emergency recovery or regional road networks, we’d love to continue the conversation.

When you pick something up off a supermarket shelf, there’s a whole chain of decisions behind how it got there – and whether it arrived on time, at a fair price, and with a smaller carbon footprint.

In Melbourne’s north, the Intermodal Terminal Company’s new $400 million Melbourne Intermodal Terminal is helping to rewrite that story. By shifting more freight from congested suburban roads onto rail, the terminal is designed to remove hundreds of thousands of truck trips from the network over its life, cutting emissions, saving fuel, and improving safety for the communities it serves.

For freight owners and forwarders, the open-access model matters just as much. Instead of being locked into a single operator, businesses of all sizes can tap into efficient interstate and port shuttle services from a ‘Goldilocks’ freight zone in Somerton – close enough to the Port of Melbourne, and right in the middle of one of Victoria’s largest industrial and logistics precincts.

BG&E is proud to deliver specialist engineering design services for this game-changing project, partnering with ACCIONA Rail as the Principal Design Consultant.

Last month, BG&E Technical Director, Reza Hassani, joined a panel of industry leaders at Sydney Build Expo to unpack sustainability through multiple lenses – from planning and design to construction and economics. Drawing on his experience delivering landmark adaptive reuse and refurbishment projects in NSW, Reza highlighted how collaborative thinking across disciplines is critical to achieving meaningful, measurable sustainability outcomes.

Thank you to Sydney Build and our fellow panellists for the opportunity to share ideas and challenge the status quo on what “good” looks like in sustainable infrastructure. See you at the next one, Sydney.

BG&E Melbourne took on the Great Aussie Hike, with the team completing 20km through the Dandenong Ranges ⛰️

Proud to support an event that brings people together for a good cause and gives back to the community. It’s always great to see the team get behind something outside of the day-to-day and make an impact beyond the office.

Big effort from everyone who got involved 👏
