BPEQ 90th ANNIVERSARY

CELEBRATING
RPEQS AND THEIR
ACHIEVEMENTS

In 2020, BPEQ turns 90. To celebrate this milestone BPEQ
is acknowledging the achievements, projects, innovations,
discoveries and stories of RPEQs past and present.

The public can appreciate engineering skill and expertise in
the built environment but what about those inconspicuous
creations and developments that contribute to the way we
live? For instance, emissions reduction technology and
renewable energy projects pioneered by Australian and
Queensland engineers.

With World Creativity and Innovation Day being celebrated
in April it is the perfect opportunity to look at the creativity
and innovation of RPEQ Duncan B Gilmore (Mechanical,

Duncan was a Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at
The University of Queensland from 1986 to 1993. He also
aspired to the office Vice President of Engineers Australia.

Duncan left the University in 1993 to form Gilmore Engineers
Pty Ltd, a leading edge consultancy specialising in research
and development and failure analysis. He expanded his
company with the introduction of e3k, a research and
development arm in 2001.

After being a Queensland finalist in 2010, e3k went on to
receive four Engineering Excellence Awards from Engineers
Australia including being named an overall National Winner
in 2012, for the engineering design and testing of the
