At some of the world’s highest observatories, fresh air is not necessarily safe air. The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, better known as ALMA, operates on Chile’s Chajnantor Plateau at approximately 5,000 metres above sea level. At that altitude, air pressure is roughly half what it is at sea level, meaning every breath delivers far less oxygen to the body. Simple tasks become exhausting, concentration can deteriorate and prolonged exposure may lead to serious a

Most people look at a site and see land. Sina Arbabzadeh sees how the entire site needs to work. He reads the high and low points, where water naturally wants to travel, how the site connects to the road and what is happening beyond the property boundary. He notices retaining walls, kerbs, pits, changes in vegetation and signs of previous ponding. Before design begins, he is already building a three dimensional picture of the site. That perspective comes from more than 20 yea

Today, our team came together for R U OK? Day as a reminder to check in with the people around us, not only today, but throughout the year. A genuine conversation can make more of a difference than we realise. Ask the question, listen properly and make time for each other. We are very proud of the care, support and connection within our Goldfish & Bay team. #RUOKDay #GoldfishAndBay #WorkplaceWellbeing #TeamCulture

Last week, we looked at the transition to R32. This week, our Mechanical team turned its attention to a different approach to heating and cooling: ground source geothermal systems. On 26 August, the team visited the RHCS Experience Centre, where a fully functioning geothermal heating and cooling system provided an opportunity to see the technology operating beyond the drawings. The centre brings together a live plant room, operational ground loop, underfloor heating circu

With a bigger pipeline of projects ahead, Goldfish & Bay is growing fast, and we’re looking for Senior and Intermediate Engineers who want to be part of what we’re building. We’re currently expanding across: ⚙️ Mechanical ⚡ Electrical 💧 Hydraulic 🔥 Fire Services 🏗️ Civil We want engineers who are technically strong, enjoy solving problems and aren’t afraid to have an opinion. People who want more than just another desk, another project number and another Monday morning mee

An operating room does not just need to be clean. Its air needs to behave differently from the air in the rooms around it. Modern operating theatres are carefully controlled environments where ventilation, filtration, temperature, humidity and pressure all form part of the engineering strategy for reducing airborne contamination. One of the most interesting parts is something you cannot see: air pressure. For many operating rooms, the room is maintained at a higher pressure t

TDF26 | CONNECTING WITH THE PEOPLE BUILDING NSW A great evening at The Developers Forum 2026, with Goldfish & Bay joining developers, builders, architects, consultants and industry leaders from across NSW. Our Expert Station kept us busy throughout the night, with plenty of conversations around current projects, the challenges facing the industry and what we are seeing across development in NSW. It was great catching up with people from SDSS, Energy Locals, Construction Consu

Comprising 310 apartments across five residential buildings, the development will also deliver an extensive range of shared amenities including a swimming pool, gym and dedicated wellness spaces. Positioned just 200 metres from Epping train and Metro station, the project adds significant new housing in one of Sydney’s well connected metropolitan centres. Our team will deliver Hydraulic Engineering services for the development, continuing our work with Versatile Construction a
