As an aside another link . This to British company Mott McDonald - like Salini looking to surf the Australian infrastructure wave
“Aussie expansion
Additionally, international markets have played a role in the growth of Mott MacDonald’s global environment team. The Australian business, originally established ten years ago as an engineering and design operation, is now benefiting from the large sums of money being invested in upgrading transport infrastructure. The last six years have seen the group business move from single-digit staff numbers to reach around 570 currently.

At the same time, Mott MacDonald’s Australian environmental team has almost quadrupled over the last 18 months going from 4 to 18. The firm is also recruiting and seconding staff from its UK business to work down under, and Morton anticipates more of this to come”. https://environment-analyst.com/70370/mott-macdonald-rides-global-infrastructure-wave
