QUEENSLAND'S GERMAN CONNECTIONS - PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

A WORD THAT ALSO DESCRIBES OUR THINKING. GROUND BREAKING

The team at the Airport Link undertook an innovative ‘jacked-box’ tunnelling operation during which two purpose-built concrete boxes, the width of a rugby field, were pushed beneath one of Queensland’s busiest railway lines. The largest of its type in Australia, this award-winning tunnelling method minimised commuter disruption. At Meanu Mine we reviewed and analysed the mine reserves and extended operations for a further 15 years rather than transfer mining to another site. Our Biocell TM technology diverts up to 40% of landfill waste and turns it into biogas for electricity generation. It takes a questioning mind to deliver the best solutions. And Thiess has the answers. THIESS.COM.AU At Thiess, the heavy lifting begins well before a single stone is unturned. Ever since 1938, when the Thiess brothers challenged a plan to tunnel through sand stone at Heifer Creek, west of Brisbane – and proposed a cutting instead – we’ve worked hard to deliver ground-breaking innovative solutions.
