Good electrical design was one of the contributing factors in 30 The Bond being the first office building in Australia to achieve a five star Australian Building Greenhouse Rating.

Connell Mott MacDonald, in conjunction with Lend Lease Design, designed the electrical and security systems for the building. The company was also involved in the establishment of the building's substation and standby diesel generation plant.

Open-plan lighting was required to comply with Lend Lease's ecologically sustainable development and spatial criteria.

Connell Mott MacDonald represents the global alliance between Connell Wagner of Australia/New Zealand and Mott MacDonald of the United Kingdom.

Combining more than 30 years experience in building engineering, the company offers a breadth and depth of technical expertise spanning Australia, the UK, Asia and the Middle East.
