Broadspectrum (ASX: BRS), formerly known as Transfield Services Ltd. (TSE), was an Australian publicly listed corporation, in June 2016 it was acquired by Ferrovial. It provides operations and maintenance, asset management, project and capital management outsourcing and infrastructure development services to the resources and industrial, infrastructure services and property and facilities management sectors. The Company operates in Australia and New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Chile, Brunei, New Caledonia, and The Philippines.
Broadspectrum operates across diverse industries, including property and facilities management (i.e offshore detention camps for refugees ), defence, transport (including road, rail and public transport), utilities (including water, power, and telecommunications), and mining and chemical processing and hydrocarbons. Broadspectrum's clients include major national and international companies, as well as all levels of government.
Broadspectrum was known as Transfield Services until 2015. The origins of Transfield Services Ltd. can be traced to 1956 when Transfield Pty. Ltd. was founded in Australia by an Italian-born immigrant electrical engineer, Franco Belgiorno-Nettis, who was joined soon after by a former colleague from EPT (Electric Power Transmission, an offshoot of Milan-based Societa' Anonima Elettrificazione, which was constructing powerlines), Carlo Salteri. The logo of Transfield Services, designed by Belgiorno-Nettis, reflected its electricity industry origins; it was intended to represent a high-voltage transmission tower, with an accompanying red electrical spark.
