Baulderstone, formerly Baulderstone Hornibrook, was an Australian construction company.
In 1926, Manuel Hornibrook founded a construction company in Brisbane. Amongst its notable projects were the Story Bridge and William Jolly Bridge. In the 1970s, it built the Sydney Opera House. [1] [2]
In 1946, Albert (Bert) William Baulderstone (born on 18 June 1906 in Longwood, Adelaide Hills) founded a construction company in Adelaide, South Australia. In 1984, Societe Auxiliaire d'Entreprises became a major shareholder in AW Baulderstone. [1] [2]
In 1985 the two companies merged to form Baulderstone Hornibrook, with operations expanded overseas into Asia. In 1993 it was acquired by Bilfinger Berger. [1] [2] In October 2008 it was rebranded as Baulderstone. [3] In December 2010 it was included in the sale of Bilfinger Berger Australia to Lendlease.
