PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Sydney Division Key Sponsors
80th Anniversary of the Sydney Harbour Bridge If ever there was an icon which symbolises the vision, achievement and sustainability of engineering, it is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. On 19 March 2012 it will be 80 years since the Bridge was officially opened – and to this day it serves as a constant reminder of ‘what’s possible’ when engineers persevere towards identifying and delivering the ‘best’ solution for the community’s needs. Dr John Job Crew Bradfield, civil engineer, joined the NSW Public Works Department in 1891, was appointed Chief Engineer for metropolitan railway construction in 1912, and in 1915 submitted a report outlining a grand scheme for Sydney’s railways involving the electrification of the suburban railway network, construction of an underground city railway, and a construction of a new bridge over the harbour connecting the growing city to the north shore. But it wasn’t until after the first World War that Tenders were finally called for the Bridge in 1924. It is interesting to note that in Bradfield’s Report recommending construction of the Bridge, he also recommended that there would need to be a second harbour crossing within 25 years – incredible vision when you consider that there were only 10 cars travelling around on the north side of the harbour at the time. At age 22 my grandmother walked over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on opening day. Some 60 years later, also at age 22, I walked through the Sydney Harbour Tunnel on its opening day on 31 August 1992. And it seems that we are still delivering Bradfield’s vision for Sydney’s integrated transport network, with some ‘missing links’ still in planning.
However, Bradfield’s vision alone wasn’t sufficient to see construction of the Bridge brought to fruition. Jack Lang was Premier of NSW for two terms during Bradfield’s time at Public Works, 1925-1927 and 1930-1932. Lang was a supporter of Bradfield and his Bridge plans and helped to raise the necessary finance for the bridge’s construction. Even during the Great Depression, Lang ensured the continuation and completion of the Bridge by maintaining the government’s financial support for the project. Our challenge as an engineering profession continues to be how to communicate our vision for addressing the community’s needs, and to demonstrate the value of a particular solution, so that those with the necessary authority can ‘make it so’. As we celebrate the 80th anniversary of this iconic piece of engineering, it’s worth considering how our individual and collective contribution as engineers will shape the next 80 years.

2 ENGINEERS SYDNEY MARCH 2012
I’m often amused by a real life engineering story that happened to me which illustrates both the foundations of the Engineering Profession and what’s required for its mastery. Many years ago I was involved in seeking to gain local government council approval for the establishment of a heavy manufacturing plant in a NSW coastal resort city and we’d engaged a specialist engineering consultant to progress the Development Application. While our proposal complied with all the regulatory requirements of town planning zoning and environmental limits it became obvious as we interacted with the local people that despite the many perceived possible benefits of this proposal they just didn’t like the idea of this heavy manufacturing plant being in their city. The process involved going to a full council meeting with full public gallery and giving the council and the public the opportunity to query, question and discuss the benefits and disadvantages of the proposal. As the meeting progressed our consultant came under very bitter and strong emotional fire, and despite a very well ordered, logical and rational argument from our consultant in favour of our proposal, every thing he said and presented was twisted around and displayed in the worst possible light. At the end of the process our consultant looked more like someone who had just gone twelve rounds with a world champion heavy weight boxer and looking quite frazzled, pale and disheveled turned to me and whispered in a humorous vein: “You know, the world would be much nicer place if there wasn’t any people in it – we could then get on with our job.” Looking back on our escapade, while mentioned as a humorous aside, the story illustrates an extremely important foundation of engineering practice: that engineering is here for one reason only – and that is: for the benefit of the people who are primarily not engineers – and if they don’t like it, if they don’t perceive things the way we do, or if they don’t see value in what we do – we’re finished. In any field of engineering it’s not the sophistication of application of mathematics, physics or chemistry that’s solely important, it’s the people, the public, and the value as perceived by them of the resulting endeavour, and an engineer’s greatest asset, is in reality, a skill and ability to relate, present, articulate, persuade and positively influence the opinion of the public. Only then can the bonds and shackles of a hard working professional be converted into a guilded mastery, a mastery of a profession: the Profession of Engineers.

AO Award – Rhett Butler Rhett Butler, mechanical engineer and founder of the Skyjuice Foundation has today been awarded an Order of Australia for extensive work undertaken by the foundation to provide sustainable safe water solutions in the developing world. The non profit foundation utilises unique world best technology and has delivered over 1200 Skyhydrant potable water units in the past 8 years in over 50 countries. Each low cost unit can produce safe water for at least 500 people every beday. It is remarkable that despite this global huge issue of lack of safe drinking water and the enormous challenges, Butler is still very optimistic. It has been projected by the UN that by 2015 there will at least 670 million people without access to safe drinking water. Butler says “the award is fabulous recognition for Rhett Butler the incredible volunteers at the foundation who have to outcomes over the past eight years. achieved amazing These are dedicated individuals making real and tangible changes to lives through the simple act of installing safe drinking water solutions.” He went on the say “the volunteers and members equally deserve this recognition as they have proven against the doubters that enabling technology can effect real change at the bottom of the pyramid and Australia has answers to many potential problems.” He claims “we need at least another one million units installed and there is still a lot of work in front of us” and remarkably he has a plan and some interesting perspectives on how to solve these problems. The unique membrane technology utilised by the foundation has been adopted globally by many of the leading international NGO’s including World Vision, OXFAM and major charitable organisations, such as Rotary to name a few. Contrary to expectations the patented Skyjuice units, called Skyhydrants, have virtually no running cost as it is powered by gravity. Also, they have been completely developed here in Australia. Butler goes on to state that “Australia has some the world’s leading
expertise in water and sanitation. Over the years we have developed some world best solutions in low cost sanitation and water treatment. Australians are proven innovators.” He provides an interesting linkage to say “our young professional science, engineering and environmental graduates are astute, motivated and many have a strong volunteer and citizenship ethic. I am continually overwhelmed with the amazing enthusiasm and endeavours and young graduates doing work in developing countries. If we combine our technology prowess and goodwill we can overcome this global problem of adequate water and sanitation.” In fact, Butler claims that technologies like those used by the Skyjuice foundation are usually not appreciated and the impact not understood. He claims we could assume a global leadership position by forming a MDG technology task force to actively accelerate promising and proven low cost technologies in the areas of potable water, low cost sanitation and housing. He says “we can provide 20 litres of clean safe potable water to every person in developing countries that is equivalent to any city in the world for less than one dollar per person per year.” Butler has many supporters and the foundation has a proven record of innovative development in the area of sustainable potable water solutions. [Individual contacts and numbers available on request] He states “the combination of technology, passion and people collectively can have a dramatic impact on lives. Australians have shown we can rise to the challenge.” The Skyjuice Foundation is set to announce a major global initiative in the next month which should create and showcase the latest development in technology as a tool to substantially improve the lives of the of our fellow citizens of the developing world.
