Pensar extends its expertise north
PENSAR is a dynamic
construction group with diverse
expertise in civil, building and
utilities projects.
Established in Brisbane in
2000, Pensar has earned an
enviable reputation for quality
and dependability, building
longstanding partnerships with
clients and contractors alike.
As a construction specialist,
Pensar has delivered complex,
large-scale projects in
metropolitan and remote
locations.
Today, the company has the
capacity and specialist expertise
to deliver multi-disciplinary
projects wherever and
whenever they’re required.
In 2013, after more than a
decade of successfully
operating as a civil and building
contractor, the Pensar
management team took stock
and made some brave strategic
decisions. Rather than continue
to follow the status quo — in a
declining and increasingly
competitive market — they
decided to focus on adding new
capabilities to their suite of
professional services.
The outcome of this frank
self-assessment was an exciting
strategy featuring geographic
expansion and the formation of
the new utilities division, which
specialises in industrial
engineering, power
infrastructure and water
infrastructure.
The benefits of this new
strategic direction are now
bearing fruit for Pensar, their
employees, suppliers,
subcontractors and now the
Cairns community.
“With three distinct yet
integrated divisions, Pensar
offers the capability and
dependability of a large group,
with the flexibility and
responsiveness of a boutique
operation providing multiple
solutions with a single point of
contact,” says Pensar
Construction Group’s chief
operating officer Clinton Thorp.
“With an unwavering
commitment to project
objectives, stakeholder
requirements and industry
standards, Pensar delivers.”
To complement the
company’s technical
diversification, Pensar has also
grown in terms of geographical
reach.
“On the back of successful
projects delivered to the
Department of Transport and
Main Roads in the Far North —
including the slope stabilisation
and road works on the Captain
Cook Hwy, Kuranda Range and
Kennedy Hwy — Pensar has
now established its first
regional office for future
operations across all business
units: civil, building and
utilities,” says Clinton Thorp.
BUILDING A PRESENCE: Adam Porter heads Pensar’s Cairns office, covering the Far North.
The new office is centrally
located in Cairns and will be
under the management of
Adam Porter, Pensar’s North
Queensland regional manager.
“Born and raised in the
north, Adam Porter joined
Pensar’s Brisbane office in
2007 as a project engineer,
working his way up to the
position of project manager —
infrastructure in 2011,” says
Clinton.
“Since 2012, he has worked
on Pensar’s projects in and
around Cairns.
“In 2014, Adam was
promoted to his current
position as North Queensland
regional manager, a leadership
role created for him to oversee
Pensar’s growing project work
in the region and to build a
team of capable local workers.”
The new office serves as a
permanent base for all office
and field staff to assist with the
delivery of infrastructure,
urban, building and utilities
works.
The company is currently
tendering a variety of works
across all business units from
slope stabilisation and seawalls
to switchboard replacements
and upgrades right through to

waste water treatment plants.
Pensar is about to
commence management of the
works to improve the Mitchell
River Crossing on Strathleven
Rd at Gamboola on behalf of
Tablelands Regional Council,
with more work imminent.
