SMEC in Bhutan

SMEC has operated in Bhutan since 1984, implementing the Road Construction Mechanisation Review project. The project involved the evaluation of a number of road construction mechanisation projects carried out (over an 11 year period) under a United Nations Development Program funded project commenced in 1973. SMEC formulated recommendations for future assistance to the Bhutan Public Works Department to continue the expansion of the road network.

 

Since then, SMEC has undertaken numerous Transport sector projects in Bhutan, including the design of approximately 60km of feeder roads and planning maintenance activities for 2,700km of Bhutan’s national road network. SMEC is also a dominant player in Bhutan’s energy sector, providing feasibility studies and detailed designs for the Rural Electrification and Network Expansion Project.

A circular economy for water: water demand and fit for purpose supply

Australia, and the world, is increasingly seeing the effect of climate change on our water supply and security. Scarcity and drought are becoming more prevalent, placing pressure on the current water supply network, and communities are expecting better solutions. As we mark National Water Week in Australia and prepare for summer, it is time to discuss how we best utilise our existing water supplies and create a more resilient future.
Building more climate-resilient infrastructure on soft soils

SMEC’s Dr Richard Kelly, Chief Technical Principal – Geotechnical Engineering, has contributed to industry-leading research and innovation in the field of soft soil engineering.
Communities of Tomorrow

There are many people around the world working in emerging spaces and utilising new technologies trying to figure out what’s next.
Delivery in the digital age. People powered technology.

I often ponder about the future of our industry and where technology will lead us and indeed, where will we lead technology. Is technology challenging the equilibrium when it comes to a full-service offering in the engineering industry? Some would say yes if our lives today are anything to go by.
