This week is National Water Week in Australia, an opportune time to take stock and consider the existing trends and emerging smart technologies within the water, dams and hydropower space.

Reflecting on Women’s Month in South Africa, SMEC South Africa celebrates their very own women in engineering - inspiring females who are not only transforming our built environment but leading the way for the next generation of female engineers.

It's an important question and one that every business, and member of society needs to ask: Why is diversity and inclusion important to me?

I am pleased to report that I have just been selected for the UDIA Women in Property Committee for the 2018-2020 season.

It’s not very often you hear people say they are genuinely proud of where they work; its people, its achievements and reputation in the marketplace.

In today’s economic climate companies worldwide are facing extreme pressure to reduce operating costs due to weak commodity prices.  Mining operators are looking for cost reduction opportunities to minimise unnecessary expenditure to positively impact operational and financial performance.

SMEC’s multi-disciplinary aviation team is made up of experts across the globe and right now it’s really taking off. Our Canberra-based team leads the way across the country delivering a diverse range of projects within the aviation industry. From apron parking to the concept design for Brisbane’s terminal upgrade, through to Defence Industry contracts and masterplans for regional airport hubs, we have the collective know-how to get it done.  

Technology has a way of dissolving into the background of our fast-paced lives until we don’t realise it’s there.

Imagine spinning through a matrix of data, watching tiny bots sifting through the information, and connecting all of the pieces together. As we stop spinning, a reality appears, and we are immersed with insights into a world we couldn’t have dreamed about. OK, so it doesn’t happen exactly like that, but at SMEC we take the data, collaborate, and use the Internet of Things (IoT) to bring us to a new world of Smart Services. A set of insights-as-a-service that drives our employees, clients, and communities to think about what’s beyond.
