This acquisition marks a significant milestone for the strategic partnership formed between Egis and Certus in 2023, born from the opportunity to create a blueprint for operational excellence in large and complex infrastructure projects. Over the past 18 months the partnership has brought this vision to life, working collaboratively on major infrastructure projects in Australia such as WestConnex and M6, as well as projects in the Middle East, UK and Europe.

Expanding Global Expertise
