ROBAR Civil

What ROBAR Civil does

ROBAR Civil is an Australian civil construction contractor founded in 2014 by civil engineers Barry Egan, Ronan Egan and Artur Krupinski, headquartered in Brisbane with regional offices in New South Wales and South Australia and active project delivery extending into Victoria and Western Australia. The company provides structural concrete Form, Reo & Pour (FRP), specialist bridge construction, stormwater drainage installation, hydraulic and utility works, earthworks and excavation, and rail infrastructure construction — primarily as a sub-contractor to Australia's largest tier-1 construction and engineering firms (CPB Contractors, John Holland, Fulton Hogan, Laing O'Rourke, Acciona, Seymour Whyte, Decmil) as well as government and defence clients (NSW Government, NSW RMS, RAAF Amberley) and resource-sector majors (BHP, Shell, VIVA Energy).

Revenue is generated through three operating streams: project-based civil construction contracts (the core business), ROBAR Personnel (labour hire and payroll services for mid- to top-tier construction companies), and ROBAR Rentals (dry and wet hire of an 80+ unit fleet of modern civil construction plant). A fourth affiliated entity, SureScan, provides Ground Penetrating Radar-based structural investigation and non-destructive testing. The group is privately held by its three founding directors with no external institutional capital, holds ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 certifications, and pursues a relationship-led, tender-driven go-to-market targeting large-scale infrastructure, defence, mining, energy and transport projects across Australia. In April 2026 the group began rolling out the CRU Rostering digital workforce planning platform to replace spreadsheet-based crew scheduling across QLD, WA and NSW operations, signalling an initial move toward digital operational tooling.
