Our Road Science team has announced another important milestone in their sustainability journey. The Bluff Bitumen Plant in New Zealand has commissioned an electric hot oil heater, advancing efforts to transition away from fossil fuels for heating. Supported by the EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority)’s GIDI fund, this initiative complements Road Science’s existing furnace with a renewable alternative. By shifting to Bitumen Emulsion, we can achieve lower heating temperatures which reduces our carbon footprint by up to 171 tonnes per year 🌍 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gDBM_xh3 #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #RoadScience #Downer #Innovation

We’re thrilled to share that the EastLink Resurfacing Project has won the Victorian state award at the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) 2024! 🏆 Downer is incredibly proud to have been the delivery partner on this major $50M project, working alongside ConnectEast EastLink and Beca to resurface one of Melbourne’s most critical motorways. 🚗💨 With up to 250,000 vehicles using EastLink daily, minimising interruption for road users, improving its smoothness and increasing safety for the travelling public was all our top priority. Despite the challenges of night work and weather, we completed the project ahead of schedule in March 2024, with outstanding safety records and minimal impact on road users. The new surface is expected to last over 15 years, continuing to serve Melbourne’s eastern suburbs with the quality and safety that EastLink is known for. 🚧✅ A very well-deserved win, awesome work to our team in Victoria and everyone involved! 💪👏 👉 Learn more about this award-winning project here: https://bit.ly/3ZjAgUr #AIPMAwards2024 #ProjectManagement #Infrastructure #RoadSafety #EastLink #DownerGroup #ProudMoment #InnovationInAction
