Insights How is AtkinsRéalis starting to make waves throughout the Australian market?

Harnessing major infrastructure investment

The Australian Government is driving forward with significant infrastructure investments that will develop sustainable communities and enable long-term economic growth. 

Australia’s rail industry, for example, is vital to the economy. In 2023 the market value stood at USD 38.63 billion, this is only expected to grow further and is forecast to reach USD 70.08 billion by 2032.

At AtkinsRéalis, with extensive expertise in delivering successful infrastructure projects, we’re in a good position to harness this growth. 

AtkinsRéalis is fully committed to supporting governments, like Australia's, as they press forward with infrastructure investments that develop sustainable communities and long-term economic growth.
