Transfield found this a fertile environment in which to do business. The civil, electrical and mechanical expertise of its two partners enabled Transfield to achieve, in a short while, a strong position in the rapidly industrialising country. Australia was craving for new infrastructure and the workforce to build it. The company was able to fulfil these demands. Transfield's migrant employees built their fair share of this country's transmission lines, power stations, pipelines, harbours and jetties, processing plants and much more of the country's backbone, often in the remotest and most inhospitable corners of the continent.
