2020 - Where does the year go!
Our valued Clients, Contractors and Consultants
The Covey team, would like to thank you for your ongoing support over the previous 12 months with the past year being another busy time despite the impacts of COVID19. Our staff have been involved in numerous exciting projects and we expect that our current projects will be keeping us busy throughout the coming year.
30 Years in Business
Covey Associates celebrated the major milestone of 30 years in business in 2020 and founder, Kevin Covey, understands the importance of hindsight.
Covey Associates opened their Head Office on the Sunshine Coast in July 1990 and have since expanded to offices in Tamworth, Armidale and North Lakes. During the mining boom, there were also offices in Gladstone and Rockhampton, as well as internationally with projects in Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Canada, China and Dubai.
Teamwork and innovation have always been the cornerstones of Covey’s success and the professional team has collaborated with colleagues from across the world on innovative systems for creating environmentally acclaimed and award-winning floating and constructed wetlands, water quality work for a greenfield CBD’s, and designing new battery operated remote controlled lure systems for increased safety on greyhound race courses for the greyhound racing industry in Australia and overseas.
It has been an extra challenging year due to the impacts of the coronavirus, but we have always looked forward to the year 2020 and all it signifies. It’s special to reach the milestone of 30 years but the greater reward is to reflect on how many projects, developments and buildings we have been instrumental in designing.
Staff News 2020
This year we welcomed to the Covey team, Jarren Vels (Civil), Abby Went (Administration) and Scott Condon (Structural).
Anthony Power, our former Principal Landscape Architect is back, though this time in a slightly different role. He returns to Covey Associates as our Senior Bushfire Consultant.
Covey Associates employ the latest wildfire modelling software, SPARK developed by the CSIRO to model bushfire behaviour and risk. The SPARK platform is capable of modelling 1,000’s of fire scenarios across the landscape to characterise potential fire behaviour and radiant heat flux modelling based on user defined inputs.
Our bushfire modelling and analytics capability is sure to ignite interest and we look forward to delivering this cutting edge service to land managers, policy makers and the wider development community.
