Viva scientist-engineers set sail on a quest to solve tough technical puzzles across the globe.
Delivers end-to-end services — from feasibility and advisory through design, EPC/EPCM delivery, commissioning, and operational support.
Earned a reputation with world-first engineering feats and pioneering projects across metals, minerals, renewables, road, rail, and ports.
Operates specialized divisions like ADP Marine & Modular, Orway, Mondium, and SAXUM to tackle niche challenges in mineral processing and modular plant design.
Serves industries spanning resources, industrial processes, infrastructure, rail, manufacturing, energy, and oil & gas.
Maintains offices across Australia, Canada, South Africa, Peru, Ghana, and the Philippines — projects travel where expertise calls.
Typical projects include large-scale mineral processing plants, rail corridor upgrades, modular dredging platforms, and green-field energy facilities.
Combines deep scientific insight with commercial discipline — a narrative of innovation, scale, and solving the seemingly unsolvable.

Culture + Values

We’re big on respect
We listen, share ideas, push and support each other
We have a voice, a sense of belonging
Lycopods are not conformists
Lycopods share a professional mindset, confidence and an innate ability to work together
We’re open – we respect others’ opinions, experiences and solutions
Global scope – work with and learn from the brightest minds

Environment + Sustainability

Energy‑efficient designs, emissions reductions, renewable technologies, net zero designs and decarbonisation are core to industrial process services
In‑house expertise in hydrogen, biogas, industrial energy efficiency and energy management
Accredited services: Energy Efficient Engineering Design & Process Analysis, Energy / Carbon Auditing, Scope 1, 2 & 3 GHG Emissions Management
All projects identify sustainability opportunities enhancing resource efficiency and long‑term environmental performance
Wide-ranging energy efficiency projects delivered (e.g. waste‑heat recovery, solar‑storage, steam‑turbine generation)
Business energy audits provide measurable reductions in operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions
Net zero integration in project design and client consulting – “net zero designs” explicitly offered
