Riverina
Civil and structural engineering expertise for regional NSW.
We work closely with local councils, developers, and community stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards. This approach blends the hands-on service and local knowledge you’ve relied on for decades with the resources and technical depth of one of Australia’s leading land development and infrastructure consultancies.
You’ll continue working with the same skilled local team you know and trust - now backed by Orion’s expanded capability and service offering. That means greater capacity, broader expertise, and the confidence your project will be delivered with precision and purpose, from concept to completion.
