International professional services company GHD has
strengthened its position in the transport, economics and
infrastructure markets with the purchase of its alliance partner
Meyrick and Associates.
The fusion of the two companies will expand the range of
services offered by GHD at a crucial time for transport and
infrastructure planning in Australia.
GHD and Meyrick have worked together for the past two years as
the GHD Meyrick Alliance, combining GHD’s technical knowledge with
the economic services and strategic policy analysis offered by
Meyrick.
GHD Transport Business Leader Tom Pinzone said the Alliance had
been very successful and had validated the advantages of bringing
the two companies together.
“GHD’s engineering, transport planning and project management
experience, combined with the skills in transport demand and
economic analysis brought by Meyrick, will expand the range of
services we are able to offer clients in the public and private
sectors.”
Meyrick and Associates was formed by transport economist Steve
Meyrick in 1991 to provide advice on economic and policy issues in
the infrastructure sector.
The company is contributing to the work of Infrastructure
Australia and has made major contributions to several landmark
Australian freight transport studies, including a freight transport
review for the National Transport Commission and the National
Internodal Terminal study for the AusLink program.
Mr Meyrick said: “I am excited by the opportunities that this
represents in developing and extending the range of transport
projects that we work on. The purchase of our business by GHD is an
opportunity to take our combined brand, which is already known to
governments and transport operators in Australia and the APEC
region, onto a much wider stage. I look forward to working under
the GHD umbrella to increase the scope of its transport and
infrastructure projects.”
GHD is one of the world’s leading engineering and architecture
firms. GHD’s transport group has extensive experience in planning,
designing and managing major transport projects, and its expanding
policy and economics group provides services across the
infrastructure sector.
