SMEC in Sri Lanka
SMEC has operated in Sri Lanka since 1982, and established a permanent office in Colombo in 1998. SMEC’s first project in Sri Lanka was the Mahaweli Area Roads Development Project, which involved the development of a primary road network to serve selected areas of the Mahaweli Ganga Basin.
Since then, SMEC has been involved in a number of projects throughout Sri Lanka, these include: the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway; the National Water Management Improvement Project; Moragahakanda Dam and Reservoir; the New Chancery Building of the Australian High Commission; and the Dry Zone Urban Water and Sanitation Project which helps to increase access to safe drinking water and improve water supply and sanitation services in four districts of north and northwest Sri Lanka.
