Beca HunterH2O-GHD Joint Venture selected as Icon Water's engineering services provider
Icon Water has recently appointed the Beca HunterH2O-GHD Joint Venture as its preferred engineering services provider to support a generational upgrade of the Australian Capital Territory's water infrastructure.
Icon Water has selected the 50/50 Joint Venture partnership between engineering consultancies Beca HunterH2O and GHD to support strategic planning and conceptual design, and to integrate with Icon Water's other partners to deliver its $1 billion capital works program over the next 10 years.
GHD Regional General Manager - ACT, Lucy Hovanec, said the 10-year appointment presented an exciting opportunity to increase water resiliency in the region. "We are absolutely thrilled to be working so closely with our local partner, Icon Water. We are proud to extend this strong connection and our significant footprint in the ACT region, while at the same time drawing upon the depth and extensive experience across our excellent local specialists and global network for the benefit of this program which is so important to our city and surrounds.
Icon Water's stated purpose – to sustain and enhance quality of life – aligns closely with GHD's purpose of creating lasting community benefit together with our clients, and we are excited to help deliver this over the life of the program."
Beca Technical Fellow and Australian Board Chair, David Papps, said the appointment builds upon Beca's proud track record partnering with water authorities across Australia's East Coast to deliver outstanding water infrastructure.
"We are excited to be appointed by Icon Water to their Professional Engineering Services Agreement partnership to help make real their capital works infrastructure program. This exciting program will secure a safe and resilient water supply for the ACT, supporting the growth of their community over coming decades," said David.
"Beca HunterH2O prides itself on forming strong, collaborative partnerships, as demonstrated by our appointment to 15 water industry service panels across Australia's eastern seaboard. The practical outcomes we deliver are grounded in technical expertise, making every day better for people and the environment."
