After the launch of the ForSHORE brand in 2019, Soletanche Bachy continues to ramp up its expertise in ports and maritime works, with the acquisition of the majority of Brady Marine & Civil, a specialist company based in Queensland, Australia. Lots of synergies to come with our BUs in Oceania and with ForSHORE operations!
Brady was created in 2010 by Paul Brady and currently has around 90 employees. Its annual turnover reaches AU$ 65 million (€42 million). It is based in Queensland, with offices in Brisbane and a workshop in Yatala, and is active in all Australian states.
Brady Marine & Civil specialises in the construction of all marine and near-shore infrastructures and substructures: bridges over water, piers, quays, dolphins, jetties, wharves, offshore pipelines, and other marine based complex structures. The company also has strong in-house engineering and equipment resources, including specialist plant (barges, cranes, temporary falsework bridging, heavy piling and drilling equipment, etc.).
Brady has completed several iconic projects, such as the Brisbane International Cruise terminal, Garden Island Cruiser Wharf, Harwood and Grafton Bridge, Homebush Bay Bridge and HIAL North Jetty, among others.
For Stéphane Abry, Managing Director, Soletanche Bachy, “the arrival of Brady Marine & Civil in Soletanche Bachy is a great addition to our strong existing marine works expertise, centered around the ForSHORE brand. It will allow us to expand our port activities in Australia and create significant synergies and joint business opportunities with our subsidiaries in the area.”
