The Asset Standards Authority (ASA) of Transport for New South Wales (NSW), Australia, has recognised 4983 Parsons Brinckerhoff as an Authorised Engineering Organisation (AEO), making the company the first major consultancy firm in NSW to be authorised to undertake engineering works on behalf of Transport for NSW.

Our teams have worked closely, together with Transport for NSW, over the assessment process, to pave the way for this major step forward for industry,” said Luke Homann, ASA’s principal manager - Authorisation and Audit.
