COLLABORATION EXTENDED FOR A GREATER SCOPE OF SOLUTIONS IN AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 (Bernama) -- Black & Veatch announced it will expand collaboration with Beca to deliver a greater breadth of sustainability and decarbonisation solutions in Australia and New Zealand.

According to Black & Veatch in a statement, the expanded agreement responds to a growing demand for infrastructure solutions that adapt to and mitigate against the impacts of climate change.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) covers collaboration on engineering and construction projects across areas including water and wastewater; renewable energy; hydrogen and ammonia production and export; as well as mining and metal processing.

“Australia and New Zealand enjoy abundant energy transformation opportunities, and well-planned investments in sustainable infrastructure can have significant environmental and economic impacts.

“Combining our global experience with Beca's strong local presence and experience in the Australasia region, we look forward to accelerating this journey and taking on technically challenging engineering projects to realise the region's decarbonisation ambitions and modernise its infrastructure,” said Black & Veatch President, Asia Pacific and India, Narsingh Chaudhary.

Meanwhile, Beca Group Director - Utilities, Clive Rundle said: “The expansion of our partnership with Black & Veatch beyond the water sector is a natural progression that provides clients across Australia and New Zealand with unique globally informed experiences needed to solve the challenges they are facing now and in the future.”

The extended MoU aligns with the commitments of Australia and New Zealand to hasten their energy transformation by navigating the opportunities and difficulties that the transition to net zero will provide for both countries' economies and identifying potential areas of cooperation.

A strong shared culture is behind the success of the Beca and Black & Veatch collaboration as both companies are employee-owned, a business model that has been delivering success for more than a century for each organisation.
