We're delivering the Fitzroy to Gladstone Pipeline (FGP) project for the Gladstone Area Water Board (GAWB) and the Queensland Government. This project will enable long-term water security for urban and industrial customers in the region.  

The FGP, which comprises an approximately 117km pipeline, a water treatment plant, reservoirs, and pumping stations, will also support the emerging hydrogen industry in the Gladstone region of Queensland. We have teamed up with BMD Constructions in a joint venture (the MBJV) to deliver the Project. 

Before the award, the MBJV participated in a competitive Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase, during which 58 innovations were identified to drive value for money and provide an outstanding solution for GAWB. From this, 32 innovations were adopted to reduce costs significantly. These key savings were realised through design optimization and detailed construction methodologies that reduced capital costs, enhanced safety, and reduced construction time and risks.

The MBJV is also committed to ensuring the project has the greatest positive impact on local industry. We have comprehensive social procurement policies and plans covering:

• Local Industry Engagement
• Indigenous Industry Engagement and Indigenous Employment
• Upskilling through training and Apprentices
• Diversity and Inclusion

MBJV has held several local industry engagement sessions in Rockhampton and Gladstone and will continue to liaise closely with prospective local suppliers and subcontractors for the project.
