David Luscombe joined GHD in 1995 and has 17 years'
experience as a civil engineer in planning, design and construction
of major infrastructure projects. David commenced his career
working at Ok Tedi in Papua New Guinea, involved in
construction of mining support infrastructure including pipelines,
hydro power plants, workshops, haul roads and accommodation
facilities. For a three-year period, David also worked for the
Queensland Department of Main Roads as Construction Manager for
major projects including bridges. From 1999 to 2004, David was
the manager of the GHD Mackay office and was involved in the
engineering of numerous multi-disciplinary projects including
significant mine support infrastructure for the nearby Bowen Basin
coalfields. This work included workshops, conveyors,
bathhouse and amenities, haul roads, wastewater and water
treatment plants.
David relocated to Adelaide in 2004 and has since
been project director on numerous infrastructure projects exceeding
AUD$100 million, including the BHP Billiton Desalination
pre-feasibility study. David comes from an engineering family and
has spent most of his life associated with infrastructure
projects. Accordingly, he is comfortable with the planning,
procurement and delivery of infrastructure projects and the
necessary importance of safety, risk management and hazard
analysis, security, environmental compliance, maintenance and
operations.
