Defence

Economies rely on a stable environment, free from threat.

The Defence environment is changing; new challenges emerge daily and threats are dynamic and ever changing. Operations are carried out in an environment of increasing global interaction — where systems are critical, facilities are essential and equipment reliability is vital.

A key servicing challenge is how to make the most efficient and effective use of available assets in training and operations. This demands improvements in the development and function of facilities, in facility maintenance, in equipment reliability and in personnel availability – all within tight budgetary constraints.

GHD has a long history of supporting defence and security in Australia and the South Pacific region through our international single-source network of services. We support sea, land and air capabilities for defence, police, immigration and customs directly and as partners with major contractors.
