Sustainable Mobility and Clean Hydro Energy

For 116 years we have contributed to the growth of the communities where we work, supporting clients in reaching their goals, with a “stay lean and go fast” approach, adopting flexible and safe solutions to satisfy our clients, pursuing efficiency and sustainable solutions to protect and enhance the environment, continuously delivering results in an uncertain world.

Whether it be a railway or metro line, a water treatment plant or a hydroelectric scheme, a bridge or a motorway, a water supply and sewerage system, an airport, a residential, commercial, industrial or hospital building, our projects support development in the most sustainable way possible to benefit all stakeholders, from communities to workers, suppliers, clients and investors.

We have worked in some of the world’s most difficult environments – from highly congested urban areas in Europe and the USA to the deserts of Saudi Arabia and Nevada, and glacial areas in the North Atlantic.

We have brought our knowledge and skill to Australia since the 1970s – starting with Melbourne City Loop in Victoria.

Our regions in Australia

Webuild’s journey in Australia began in the 1970s when it entered the Victorian infrastructure market to build the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop, better known today as the City Loop. This project cemented Webuild’s position as a key player in Australia and unlocked the potential for the business to extend its operations across the nation.  

In 2023, Webuild acquired Australian business, Clough. Founded in Perth, Western Australia in 1919, Clough’s long and rich history can be traced across the country. Together, Webuild and Clough are delivering some of the nation’s largest projects.  

Western Australia  

As we expand our Group’s presence in Western Australia, we are ready to deliver the challenging and rewarding projects supporting the State’s future, communities, and people. 

Through the acquisition of Clough, founded in Perth in 1919 as a small building company, we are now one of the longest standing engineering and construction companies in the country. What began with the construction of one of Perth’s first high rise buildings, has grown into a strong legacy of iconic projects that have helped shape the face of modern WA.

Queensland

Our Brisbane-based team is expanding and contributing to some of our most ambitious and technically demanding projects. With Webuild and Clough working together to support the diverse local communities where we operate, we are helping to ensure a bright future for Queensland. 

In 1973, we entered the Queensland Market. We began working on road construction and small mining projects across the state, and soon after, the business secured two pipeline contracts near Gladstone, one for water and the other for limestone. These projects strengthened our presence as a project delivery company and unlocked the potential for the business to extend further into the East Coast and Papua New Guinea markets across a range of industries. 

 

Victoria

Webuild entered the Victorian infrastructure market in the 1970s when it was awarded the construction of the Melbourne Underground Rail Loop, better known today as the City Loop.

Since then, Victoria has become a long-standing key strategic market for the Group, demonstrated by their commitments to develop their people and support the communities in which they operate.  
 
Currently, we are delivering the North East Link Primary Package in Melbourne, as part of the Spark Consortium. The North East Link is the largest private-public partnership for an infrastructure project in Australia, and it has a strong focus on sustainability.   

The project involves the construction of twin three-lane tunnels approximately 6.5 kilometres long. Once complete, it will be the longest road tunnel in Victoria, providing an essential link in the city’s freeway network, reducing congestion and travel times for tens of thousands of motorists. The project will enable a more sustainable future by taking 15,000 trucks off local roads every day and reducing trave times by up to 35 minutes for commuters. 

New South Wales

In New South Wales, Webuild has established a significant presence, contributing to the development of key transport infrastructure projects that enhance the state's connectivity and urban landscape, as well as major water infrastructure projects, supporting the nation’s renewable energy transition. 

Webuild recently delivered the Sydney Metro Northwest project which involved the construction of a new metropolitan train line north-west of Sydney and the design and construction of the Skytrain bridge.  
The project was the first completely automated high-speed train system in Australia! 

Currently, Webuild is delivering the Stations, Systems, Trains, Operations and Maintenance (SSTOM) works for Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport as part of a consortium, and the iconic Snowy 2.0 Project in joint venture with Clough, for Snowy Hydro Limited - the biggest renewable energy project under construction in Australia, underpinning the nation’s transition to a renewable energy future.
