Disaster Recovery Engineering: How BG&E Gets Communities Moving Again

In this episode of Inside BG&E, we explore how emergency and disaster recovery projects move from initial damage assessment to scoped, fundable and buildable solutions. BG&E’s Emergency and Disaster Recovery team discusses what rapid response really means in practice, how eligibility and value-for-money requirements shape recovery programs, and why this work is so different from a traditional infrastructure project.    Featuring Max Gregori - Emergency & Disaster Recovery Lead, Ashleigh Lawrence - Senior Engineer and Hasini Perera - Experienced Civil Engineer, this conversation covers disaster recovery engineering, DRFA-style recovery delivery, like-for-like restoration, treatment optioneering, site constraints, resilience considerations, and the real-world challenge of reconnecting roads and communities after floods, cyclones, landslides and other natural disasters. The episode also highlights the human side of recovery work, and the impact engineers can have when essential transport links are restored.

Gateway Files: Inside the Sydney Gateway bridges

How do you design and deliver 19 bridges for a $2.6 billion airport gateway, keep a live corridor operating, and introduce Australia’s first incrementally launched network arch bridge in the process?   In Gateway Files, host Laura Miranda sits down with Daniel Fryirs, Joe Turner, and Luke Wetherstone to reflect on the bridge program behind Sydney Gateway – from early concepts and construction strategy to the on‑the‑ground realities of building in one of Sydney’s most constrained transport environments. It’s a conversation for people who shape, fund, or deliver complex transport infrastructure and want to hear what really happens behind a legacy bridge project.

From Uni to Industry: Hugo & Rebecca’s Graduate Journey at BG&E

This episode of Inside BG&E follows two graduates, Hugo Groot and Rebecca Ninan, as they reflect on stepping from university into their first roles at BG&E. Rather than focusing on the technical details, the conversation explores how they found their feet, the kind of work they have been exposed to, and what they have learned about themselves in the process. Listeners will get an honest, early-career perspective on starting out in consulting engineering and how a people-first environment can shape that journey. https://bgeeng.com/career/early-careers/ [https://bgeeng.com/career/early-careers/]
