We’re back at it! SMEC Crowned Plate Champions at the Bangladesh Corporate Futsal Tournament 2024! This weekend, SMEC faced off against corporate competitors across Bangladesh in an electrifying 2-day showdown. After five intense matches, scoring 23 goals and securing 4 wins, we’re overjoyed to celebrate our hard-fought title as Plate Champions! This achievement goes beyond the title, it shows the dedication, countless training sessions after office hours, and the unwavering spirit our team brought to each match. But the true game-changer? The incredible support from our colleagues, along with their families, who packed the sidelines and brought boundless energy. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this possible! #TeamSMEC #Champions #CorporateFutsal2024 #HealthlyCompetition #UnlockPotential

#EngineeringPositiveChange is about empowering communities. We invited three of our colleagues in Africa to explain how SMEC has driven a community-centric approach to facilitating infrastructure development in remote areas. Working alongside communities, we are proud to deliver practical, sustainable infrastructure that promotes fair and lasting benefits.

Last Thursday, Pound Road West – Frankston-Dandenong Road Bridge Upgrade was awarded the Excellence in Governance Award at the 2024 Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) Awards. This recognition celebrates our approach to embedding governance and sustainability in every aspect of the project, from risk management to decision-making. In collaboration with Major Road Projects Victoria and Seymour Whyte , we've delivered an infrastructure solution that enhances community connectivity while driving long-term value and resilience. At SMEC, we remain committed to simplifying complex challenges and delivering transport infrastructure that not only serves today’s needs but builds a sustainable future for generations to come. #Transport #Governance #Sustainability #EngineeringPositiveChange

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Earlier this month, nearly 60 of our colleagues gathered from our North Sydney, Wollongong, and Parramatta offices to compete in the NSW Corporate Games. They showcased their skills in golf, tennis, volleyball, and soccer while proudly wearing our recently rebranded SMEC merchandise (Smerch 😊). The ANZ corporate games are a great reminder of just how closely physical health and mental well-being are connected. As we observe Mental Health Month this October, it’s essential to recognise how engaging in physical activities can significantly enhance our mental health. Research has consistently shown that regular exercise can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and support mental health, allowing us to unlock our greatest potential. As Christopher Cullen shared, “At SMEC, team culture is at the heart of everything we do, and it's more than just working together in the office. The opportunity to participate in events, whether it be participating at the Corporate Games or playing lunch time social sport with colleagues across each discipline, it’s a huge part of maintaining a healthy mind, body and spirit. It’s moments like these, where we step away from the office and bond through sport, that strengthens our connections and keep us going.” Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this vibrant display of teamwork and camaraderie And of course, a particular shout out to our medal winners for their outstanding achievements – who doesn’t love a bit of healthy competition?! #CorporateGames #TeamSpirit #HealthyLiving #EngineeringExcellence #MentalHealthMonth2024

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 Together with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation and Barwon Water , we took home the Organisational Excellence Award at the 2024 VIC Water Awards last night. The award recognises our collaborative work on the Porronggitj Karrong, Place of the Brolga, project. This Wadawurrung-led initiative placed ‘listening to country’ at the heart of the project, fostering deeper understanding and reconnection to this special site on the banks of the Barwon River in Victoria, Australia. The project aims to transform almost 70 hectares of land into a new living cultural landscape and community precinct, to create a balanced ecological system incorporating Wadawurrung values for the whole community to connect, listen and learn from Country. A special thank you to our amazing project partners—Barwon Water and Wadawurrung Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation—for trusting us with this important project.

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆: 𝗔 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Reservoir sedimentation poses significant challenges for water resource managers and hydropower projects, diminishing storage capacity by approximately 0.5% to 1% of total volume annually, which can lead to substantial long-term impacts on water quality and operational efficiency. In our latest insights article, we explore important research presented during ICOLD 2024, where the paper co-authored by Amit Gautam , SMEC Deputy Technical Principal Hydropower India, and Ritesh Patro from the University of Oulu in Finland, won the Best Paper Award in the Young Professional Forum category. Their research utilises the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to model sediment dynamics, introducing innovative calibration methods using satellite-derived evapotranspiration data. It addresses sediment yield in regions with limited data and reveals that climate change could exacerbate sediment load variability by up to 30% by 2100. Discover how these findings can inform adaptation and remediation strategies, ensuring sustainable water resource management amidst the challenges posed by climate change.

𝗗𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹: 𝗔 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝘁 #AU2024 Last week saw the launch of an inspiring series of discussions at the Autodesk University Conference focused on the maturity of design thinking and the innovative application of technology to tackle complex challenges, often referred to as "wicked problems." Key themes emerged throughout the sessions: - Data Granularity - Data Interoperability - Data Accessibility - Artificial Intelligence These concepts are vital as we explore how organisations can harness the power of data-rich ecosystems to drive innovation across various sectors, from media and entertainment to infrastructure and energy. The presentations showcased real-world examples of 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆, emphasising the importance of leveraging digital capability to create meaningful, positive impacts on projects, and in turn the communities we serve. As we move forward, our commitment to embracing technology and innovation remains steadfast. By ensuring a human centred approach to digital innovations, together we can shape a future where engineering consultancies play a pivotal role in driving technological adoption and transformation. Thank you to our digital leads Adam Freer and Dr. Erezi Utiome, PMP , alongside colleague Adrian Worboys from our SJ Group sister company Robert Bird Group were lucky enough to attend and report back. Stay tuned for more insights and collaborations as we continue this ever evolving and always fascinating journey. #DedicatedToDigital #EngineeringPositiveChange #Transport #Energy #Water #Environment

Sustainability in infrastructure is more critical than ever, with the building construction sector responsible for 7 percent of global carbon emissions, and cities consuming up to 80 percent of the world's energy, according to the statistics provided by the United Nations . Embedding sustainability across governance, procurement, and decision-making is vital for driving positive change. At SMEC, we are engineering positive change with projects such as Pound Road West – Frankston-Dandenong Road Bridge Upgrade, announced as a finalist in the Excellence in Governance category at the 2024 Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) , alongside our partners Major Road Projects Victoria and Seymour Whyte . This recognition underscores our dedication to sustainable governance by strategically managing risks and collaborating with stakeholders to achieve impactful results. Congratulations also to the teams behind the M7-M12 Integration Project, Sydney Metro West – Western Tunnelling Package, and Unanderra and Towradgi Station Upgrade Projects, three iconic projects that SMEC is proud to have contributed to, and are named finalists at the ISC awards. Winners will be announced on 24 October 2024 in Sydney. Best of luck to all finalists!
