BMT has appointed Steven Della Mattea as Queensland manager to support the expansion. Della Mattea has also been responsible for the delivery of infrastructure projects at various locations across Queensland and he has extensive design and contracts management experience.
With over 18 years in civil and structural engineering, oil and gas and port infrastructure projects, his most recent experience includes the development of port infrastructure for a major LNG project in Gladstone.
BMT JFA Consultants’ new Brisbane office will see it co-locate with BMT WBM to help build on the success of a number of recent projects and allow the company to respond more efficiently to an increasing number of business requests on the east coast.
Last year saw increased demand for additional design works and studies to assist with overall redevelopment plans of ports.
BMT JFA Consultants managing director Tim Greens said: “Historically, demand for our services has focussed specifically on dredging consultancy, but we’re now seeing an increased drive in demand, both locally and more widely in Asia Pacific, towards integrated consultancy services – from concept through to implementation planning, infrastructure design, ports operations optimisation, and dredging reclamation and maintenance services.”
The new Perth office will combine BMT’s strategic ports and harbours and machinery consultancy expertise into a single location, with BMT JFA Consultants and BMT WBM in the one office.
