There are parts of becoming an engineer that are difficult to understand until you are actually working alongside other engineers. What employers notice when graduates apply for their first role, how much technical ability matters compared with communication, whether it is better to specialise early or explore different disciplines, and what the transition from university into consulting actually feels like are all things that become clearer through conversations with people

A little behind the scenes from earlier this week. We brought some of our emerging engineers together for a photoshoot at Goldfish & Bay, and it turned into a very fun morning. Plenty of laughs, a few questionable poses and some great moments in between. But there’s a little more behind these photos. We want to do more to share the experiences of our emerging engineers, while creating more opportunities to connect with students who are curious about engineering and where a ca

873 new homes. A $1 billion residential precinct. A project we’re proud to help deliver. Deicorp’s latest construction update captures the scale of Showground Pavilions and the progress being made as structural works advance and building services installation gets underway. Goldfish & Bay is contributing across the development, with our involvement spanning hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and fire engineering, together with CFD modelling. Designed by TURNER STUDIO and Group

ENGINEERING INSIGHTS | At Marina Bay Sands, around 1.4 million litres of water sit almost 200 metres above ground, across three towers that do not move in exactly the same way. Supporting that weight is only part of the engineering challenge. The pool also has to accommodate movement. In its technical account of the project, Arup describes how differential movement between the towers had to be considered under gravity, wind and seismic loads. The SkyPark incorporates separate

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

Last week, we promised skyscrapers, extreme winds and why stopping a building from moving is not actually the goal. So we thought we should start with the obvious one. Burj Khalifa stands 828 metres above Dubai, but the interesting engineering starts more than 50 metres below it. Before construction moved skyward, engineers tested foundation piles under loads of up to 6,000 tonnes. The completed foundation would eventually rely on 192 reinforced concrete piles beneath a massi
