In 2020 Simon started Precast Concepts Pty. Ltd, primarily involved in offering independent technical advice and conceptual design. Simon is a Chartered Professional Engineer, a current Board member of the National Precast Association of Australia, a past president of the Concrete Institute of Australia (Victoria Branch) and is an Australian representative on Commission 6: Prefabrication of the Fédération Internationale du Béton (fib). Simon is also the CIA representative of BD-066 responsible for Australian Standard AS3850: Prefabricated Concrete Elements.
Rod Mackay Sim. From 1982 Rod pioneered the design, manufacture and deployment of engineered, quick-connect concrete lifting systems. These revolutionised prefabricated concrete construction. He is the Drafting Leader for Standards Committee BD-066 responsible for AS3850 Prefabricated Concrete Elements an Honorary Member of the Concrete Institute of Australia and Life Member of the National Precast Association of Australia.
Geoff Fletcher. Geoff is a chartered engineer and is registered in Victoria & Queensland for civil/structural engineering. He has broad design, research and construction experience, particularly regarding precast concrete and concrete anchorage systems. He is a member of Australian Standards committees for AS 3600 (Concrete Structures), AS 3850 (Prefabricated Concrete Elements) and is a member of the fib (International Federation for Structural Concrete) Task Group 2.9 re Anchorage into Concrete. He has worked closely with the major Australian precast industry association (National Precast) for about 20 years and is also an active member of the Forensic Engineering Society of Australia.
Stephen Roach has over 30 years’ experience as a trade union official. Over the last 10 years he has worked as an Occupational Health & Safety officer with the CFMEU Construction (VIC/TAS Branches). He has been a member of Australian Standards BD66 committee - Prefabricated Concrete Elements since 2014.
