Bowhill Engineering

A look inside the business helping build the future of South Australia. Bowhill Engineering is manufacturing the steel sections for the cross-passages that link the twin tunnels of Adelaide’s Torrens to Darlington (T2D) project. We spent a day at their Murray River facility capturing the scale of the job, the precision of the robotic welding and the crew behind it. The result is a library ready for their website, LinkedIn, tenders and recruitment.
