Killard Infrastructure

What Killard Infrastructure does

Killard Infrastructure Pty Ltd is a privately owned Australian specialist civil construction company founded in 1999, headquartered in Rhodes (Greater Sydney) with regional offices in Goulburn (NSW) and Narangba (South East Queensland) and a direct workforce of over 150 employees. The company delivers water infrastructure — potable water reticulation and trunk mains (up to DN1800), wastewater reticulation and carrier mains, sewer rising mains, sewer pump stations, treatment plants, recycled water systems, and reservoirs — using in-house specialist techniques including pipe-bursting, slip-lining, horizontal directional drilling (HDD), microtunnelling, and caisson shaft construction. It complements these services with general civil works and an in-house Traffic Control Division registered with Transport for NSW (Category G). The customer base splits between two primary verticals: government entities — chiefly Sydney Water (the foundational client since 1999), Unitywater, Hunter Water, and a long tail of NSW/QLD councils — and Tier 1 construction primes (Lendlease, John Holland/CPB JV, Fulton Hogan, BMD, McConnell Dowell, Seymour Whyte, the Gamuda–Laing O'Rourke JV) for whom Killard acts as a specialist utility subcontractor on major infrastructure programs including Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Light Rail, and the M12 Motorway.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project tender basis, with work secured via direct tendering to government and water authorities (Killard holds full Sydney Water accreditation across categories W1–W3, S1–S2, MS, PE, LP, RW, plus Hunter Water, TfNSW, Local Buy QLD, and multiple council panels) and as a subcontractor to Tier 1 primes. Contract durations range from single-project reticulation renewals to multi-year framework agreements (e.g., the Goulburn Mulwaree 2019–2024 reticulation renewal) and large-diameter trunk main installations. The company has delivered over 1,000 projects cumulatively and 60+ projects across NSW and Queensland in 2024 alone, with notable recognition including Sydney Water's ProMac Contractor Excellence Award (best contractor of the entire program, January–April 2021) and multiple safety awards on Tier 1-led projects. In 2024, Killard also formed the Killard-Tallai Joint Venture (KTJV) with Tallai, marking a strategic step from subcontractor to head contractor on Unitywater's Waraba Wastewater Network program.

Revenue model

1. Civil infrastructure construction contracts: Killard generates revenue by winning and delivering civil infrastructure construction projects, primarily in the water sector. Projects range from small council reticulation renewals to large multi-disciplined infrastructure projects. Work is secured via direct tenders to government and water authorities, and as a subcontractor to Tier 1 construction companies. Revenue is project-based, derived from construction contract fees.

Core offering

Killard Infrastructure is a multi-functional civil construction company that specialises in water infrastructure delivery, including potable water reticulation and trunk mains, wastewater reticulation and carrier mains, wastewater rising mains, sewer pump stations, treatment plants, recycled water systems, reservoirs and tanks, and general civil works. Projects are delivered for government entities (councils and water authorities) and Tier 1 construction companies across NSW, Queensland, and the ACT, with pricing determined per-project through tender submissions.

Product overview

Killard Infrastructure is a multi-functional civil construction company specializing exclusively in water infrastructure. Rather than a unified software platform, it offers a portfolio of distinct civil construction service offerings focused on the water lifecycle: potable water systems (reticulation and trunk mains), wastewater systems (reticulation, carrier mains, and rising mains), recycled water infrastructure, treatment plants, reservoirs and tanks, and sewer pump stations. These services are complemented by general civil works and in-house traffic control capabilities. The company operates as a service provider delivering projects for government entities (councils, water authorities) and Tier 1 construction companies, rather than as a product company.
