About Abergeldie

Abergeldie is an Australian owned contractor with 30 years’ industry experience in Australia and New Zealand. We design and deliver projects in the Water, Bridges, Transport, Underground, Energy and Remediation industry sectors: the complex infrastructure needed to build better communities.

About Our Utilities Team

Our national Utilities team is at the forefront of delivering critical water and wastewater infrastructure through strategic planning and collaborative delivery models, including ECI, TOC, and Alliancing. We specialise in asset reliability and renewals, bulk water upgrades, and the rehabilitation of networks in both metropolitan and regional settings.

It’s an exciting phase of growth, particularly in Melbourne. We've recently secured several major long-term framework contracts, including the ABK Joint Venture—where we’re one of two Delivery Partners leading South East Water’s landmark $1.5 billion capital works program. We're also a proud partner in the SFP Joint Venture with Melbourne Water, delivering a broad portfolio of design and construct, and pipeline rehabilitation works.

With a strong pipeline of projects underway and ahead, we're expanding our team to support our continued growth and industry-leading outcomes.
