Bilfinger Berger Magazine 2/2009

Bilfinger Berger Australia has been com - missioned to expand an eight-kilometer stretch of the Ipswich Motorway south west of Brisbane from four lanes to six. The project also includes the construction of 31 new bridges and has a volume of €800 million, with Bilfinger Berger’s share amounting to €510 million. Completion is scheduled for 2013. The Ipswich Motorway is being developed on the ba - sis of an al liance model, a form of contract placement increasingly favored for major public construction projects in Australia. A balanced risk structure is what sets this partnership-oriented approach apart.
