Parsons Brinckerhoff team to build Queensland motorway

4 Feb 14 A joint venture of Balfour Beatty subsidiary Parsons Brinckerhoff and Seymour Whyte has been awarded a design and construct contract to upgrade a motorway interchange in Queensland, Australia.

The project, worth more than AU$50m (£26.8m), was awarded by the Department of Transport & Main Roads and involves the upgrade of a key link between the Pacific Motorway and a new health and university development.

Parsons Brinckerhoff’s director of transport, Mark Keogh, said that the structure of this joint venture is unique and represents a positive, strategic step forward for industry. “We are pleased that Parsons Brinckerhoff and Seymour Whyte have joined together under a joint venture agreement to deliver this project, and will be trading as GC Connect Joint Venture.

“Both parties will share the risks and opportunities presented by the project, allowing for a focus on collaboration and for the delivery of best-for-project outcomes for our client and the community.  This partnership demonstrates a positive step forward for the design and construction industry, and brings together two companies who are closely aligned in terms of our cultural, corporate and safety values.
