Arup Pty Limited

We are an independent firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical specialists offering a broad range of professional services. Through our work, we make a positive difference in the world. We shape a better world. Founded in 1946 with an initial focus on structural engineering, Arup first came to the world?s attention with the structural design of the Sydney Opera House, followed by its work on the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Arup has since grown into a truly multidisciplinary organisation. Most recently, its work for the Singapore Sports Hub has reaffirmed its reputation for delivering innovative and sustainable designs that reinvent the built environment. Arup brings together broad-minded individuals from a wide range of disciplines and encourages them to look beyond the constraints of their own specialisms. We have a strong track record of helping many development and humanitarian organisations, and the people they?re mandated to help. Whether this is achieving clarity where there is complexity, greater efficiency, or improving the speed, quality and sustainability of projects.
