Major projects

Winding up

York Civil entered voluntary administration in August 2018.[5] Its directors appointed Ferrier Hodgson as administrators on the morning of 6 August 2018. Ferrier Hodgson reported that work would continue on projects while the business was reviewed. A creditors meeting is scheduled for 16 August 2018. York Civil said it had 131 staff in South Australia, 32 in New South Wales, 19 in Western Australia and four in Queensland.[6] A week after the administrators took over, Ferrier Hodgson announced on 13 August that the company had ceased trading. Joint venture partners were expected to continue to work on major infrastructure projects in Western Australia (Matagarup Bridge), South Australia (tram line extension and two sections of North–South Corridor) and New South Wales (Pacific Highway upgrades).[7] At the time of winding up the business, Ferrier Hodgson reported that there were 190 direct employees, including 130 in South Australia.[8]

Awards

York Civil won an Engineering Excellence award in 2000 for the 407m Blanchetown Bridge, the first incrementally-launched bridge in South Australia.[9]

York Civil was the local partner in the joint venture which constructed the Northern Expressway north of Adelaide, for which it won an award in 2011 for projects over A$75 million from the Civil Contractors Federation of South Australia.[10]
