Materials & Durability

Every time a structure is created, it demonstrates the influence that materials technology has on the built environment. This engineering discipline is critical for improving the prosperity, security and safeguarding human life.

BG&E are at the forefront of this discipline. Our seasoned Materials team operates with strong links to academia and provides materials selection, specification and optimisation, durability design, design and specification conformance, constructability staging, asset inspection and remaining life assessments – as well as construction defect and dilapidation remediation strategies, non-destructive and destructive materials testing, and conflict resolution and litigation support for matters relating to construction law.

In June 2021, BG&E started a formal partnership with one of the leading Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) – the SmartCrete CRC – which promotes scientific and engineering research for Australia’s concrete industry, including developments within the concrete supply chain and associated industries. This partnership enables BG&E to continue to be at the cutting edge of advancements in concrete, a material which underpins most of the projects that we deliver for clients.
