Franco Belgiorno- Nettis immigrated to Australia in the 1950s and founded his own engineering company called Transfield. Starting with virtually nothing, the company was awarded a contract to build power transmission lines in Port Kembla. Transfield soon became a major industrial force and in 1991 it completed the successful construction of the Sydney Harbour Tunnel.
