C onstruction company Hansen Yuncken has continued to define the Australian skyline for decades , creating some of the nation ’ s most notable landmarks and buildings including Melbourne ’ s Port Authority Building and the Museum of Old and New Art ( MONA ). Yet , although the Australian firm has a rich history spanning over a century , it certainly isn ’ t stuck in the past . Keeping up with the blistering pace of change in the construction sector , the business is tackling each and every project with aplomb and an innovative stance .

It ’ s for this reason that Project Manager Vanja Krumpacnik believes that Hansen Yuncken remains a heavyweight in the industry , even after all these years . “ As the years have gone by , we ’ ve grown to take on bigger and more complex projects ,” he explains . “ We ’ re trying to be a leader in the construction sector by using new technologies which allows us to provide transparency to our stakeholders , clients and consultants regarding quality and safety processes on site . We also have a rich history ; we ’ ve been around for 100 years and whilst we ’ re changing with the times in terms of techniques and technologies , our core principles and values have stayed the same .” Michael Gibson , Senior
