Robin Powerย 

Business Development & Strategy

Robin specialises in helping clients use modern ground improvement and in situ testing methods to increase rates of construction, lower cost, improve quality, reduce risk and reduce their environmental footprint. For over 15 years, Robin has worked with civil engineering consultants, asset owners, government agencies, contractors, research organisations and suppliers in geotechnics, earthworks, and pavements across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific.

He combines practical understanding, theoretical knowledge and commercial business acumen and blends this with his background as a manufacturing engineer to look at civil construction through the eyes of people and process.

Robin is passionate about sustainability in civil construction and is the founding chair of theย Ground Level Alliance.

Robin challenges the status quo, pushing the industry forward by bringing the latest technologies into the marketplace to enable better outcomes for testing and improving in situ conditions.

A bridge approach transition zone is the area where a road or railway track transitions from the rigid structure of a bridge to the flexible embankment or road pavement, aiming to minimize abrupt changes in stiffness and potential issues like differential settlement.

The 5th International Conference on Transportation Geotechnics (ICTG), held in Sydney, marked a milestone in the geotechnical and transportation engineering community. Organized by the UTS Transport Research Centre (UTS-TRC), this prestigious event brought together over 450 delegates from 30 countries, making it a truly global gathering for experts in the field.

The ANCOLD 2024 Conference, held in Adelaide, brought together industry professionals in dam engineering, safety, and sustainability. With 624 delegates in attendance, the event provided a collaborative platform for experts to exchange knowledge on the latest developments in dam infrastructure, safety protocols, and environmental considerations. Key discussions focused on advancing dam engineering practices in response to climate change, improving risk-informed decision-making, and exploring new innovations in dam safety.
