Baulderstone, formerly Baulderstone Hornibrook, was an Australian construction company.

History

MR Hornibrook

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]

AW Baulderstone

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]

Baulderstone Hornibrook

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.[4] The brand was retired in 2013 as part of a restructure of Lendlease's construction business units.[5][6]
