Robert Bird Group is an Australian-owned structural, civil and specialist engineering consultancy with offices in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates. Since its establishment in 1982, Robert Bird Group havs performed work on many sophisticated and complex structural projects, including prestigious public buildings, high rise structures, waterfront developments, urban regeneration projects, sporting facilities, major retail developments, transport infrastructure projects and complicated heritage developments.
As an organisation their contribution to the engineering world includes the development of innovative and cost saving construction techniques, in particular, the use of concrete filled steel tubes as permanent basement columns in top down construction; simultaneous construction of basements with towers, and flatplate construction which reduces floor to floor height and therefore the cost of mechanical services. Robert Bird himself has also been involved in developing solutions for complex below ground and sea level construction works involved in wharf reconstruction.
