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

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

90,000 people. 14 kilometres. One incredible morning in Sydney. Among the thousands making their way from the city to Bondi was our Goldfish & Bay team, taking on City2Surf 2026 together. There were different paces, plenty of encouragement and probably a few moments on Heartbreak Hill when the finish line felt very far away, but everyone made it to Bondi. More importantly, our team had three very good reasons to keep going. This year, we ran in support of Sydney Children's Ho

Designed around care, independence and connection, St Nicholas Seniors Care Centre in Punchbowl is a purpose built aged care facility delivered by Deicorp in partnership with Antiochian Care Limited. Goldfish & Bay was engaged by Deicorp to provide Hydraulic and Fire engineering services for the development. St Nicholas was one of our earlier aged care projects together, building on an established relationship that has continued across many projects since. The 80 bed centre b
