Bilfinger Berger benefits from Australian economic stimulus program: major order worth €120 million in field of education

Construction and services group Bilfinger Berger has received an order to extensively modernize 177 schools in the Sydney metropolitan area. As part of the Federal Government’s economic stimulus package, the state of New South Wales has started its biggest ever school construction program. Bilfinger Berger will modernize teaching and administration buildings and will extend existing facilities. The project is worth €120 million and is to be completed by the middle of 2011.

In Australia, Bilfinger Berger is one of the leading contractors in the building market. The Group is benefiting from the rising demand from public and semi-public clients: In Melbourne, the company is now building eleven schools. This project worth €110 million is oriented towards the standards of the Australian “Green Star” seal of approval for particularly environmentally friendly buildings. In the cities of Canberra, Wollongong and Sydney, Bilfinger Berger is constructing and expanding university buildings, student accommodation and research facilities with a volume of more than €140 million.
