# SYSTRA enters a new market in Australia

![SYSTRA enters a new market in Australia](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/orchard-hills-wfp-tile-lrg.jpg)

At the end of 2025, SYSTRA announced its ambition to expand into adjacent
markets, targeting water management projects in particular. This strategy is now
taking shape, with BG&E – Part of SYSTRA, in partnership with CPB Contractors,
winning a contract to design and oversee the modernisation of the Orchard Hills
water filtration plant, starting in mid-February 2026 for an initial period of
12 months.

> This is an important success for us: our teams will be working with one of
> Australia’s largest construction companies and a leading partner in the field
> of water management, CPB Contractors, and our client Sydney Water is
> Australia’s largest water management organisation.
> John Conroy, Water Infrastructure Lead, BG&E – Part of SYSTRA

## Ensuring the quality of water supplied to Sydney residents

Built in 1993, the Orchard Hills drinking water production plant supplies
260,000 residents of the towns of Penrith and Blue Mountains. It filters water
retained by the Warragamba Dam, whose quality can be degraded by climatic
hazards such as severe storms or bushfires following droughts. To improve water
treatment, it was decided to build a new filtration unit.

Our teams will be responsible for project management of studies, civil
engineering design, structures and hydraulics, materials engineering and site
assessment, before subcontracting process monitoring and mechanical studies.
Once the studies are complete, we will support the construction work.
