Leveraging the latest advances in digital engineering, SMEC South Africa continues to refine its virtual design capabilities to optimise the construction, maintenance, and asset management of transportation routes.

My Grandfather was a chief engineer for the Snowy Hydro Scheme (which was constructed between 1949 to 1974). My Grandmother was a coal miner’s daughter. So, I guess you can say that digging rocks is in my blood.

In 2021, SMEC and JV partners CDM Smith were appointed by GIZ to prepare 18 Urban Infrastructure prefeasibility studies across the provinces of West Java, Central Java, East Java and Bali.

Solid waste management is a crucial yet overlooked factor in achieving a circular economy. We must re-evaluate our approach and integrate sustainable waste systems and processes to influence a solid waste renewable future.

One of the major challenges affecting water utilities in India is the considerable difference between the amount of water brought into the distribution system and the amount of water that reaches the consumers. Large volumes of water are lost through leakage which also impacts revenue.

The component-based finite element method (CBFEM) is a method to analyze and design connections of steel structures. CBFEM combines the standard approach to connection design with finite elements analysis which enables engineers to code-check a variety of steel connections more efficiently.

The Tonle Sap Poverty Reduction and Smallholder Development Project (TSSD) has supported over 650,000 households, enabling vulnerable farming communities in seven provinces to enhance agriculture techniques and access new technology, markets, and rural finance.

At SMEC we strive to ensure that every individual is given access to resources and support that sets them up for success. As we celebrate International Women’s Day 2023, we spoke to seven female leaders across our organisation and asked them to share their views of what #EmbraceEquity means to them.

In honour of International Women's Day, we explore the theme of #EmbraceEquity by examining unconscious gender bias present in everyday designs. SMEC Technical Principal for Environment, Jo Davis, discusses the importance of ensuring our engineering designs reflect the needs of all.

Reopening and revitalising Cowra Lines may be key to strengthening Australia’s regional freight network for the future.
