History
SMEC’s origins date back to the Snowy Mountains Scheme, Australia’s largest infrastructure project. The scheme was a massive multi-purpose project undertaken between 1949 and 1974, which involved the construction of 16 major dams, seven power stations, 145 km of tunnels and 2,000 km of roads.
The objective of the Snowy Mountains Scheme was to divert the rivers from southeast Australia to the west to provide water for irrigation and generate peak load electricity for New South Wales and Victoria. The AU$820 million scheme became an iconic symbol of nation building. The project was financed by the Australian Government and an AU$100 million World Bank loan. Management of the scheme was overseen by the Snowy Mountains Authority (SMA).
In 1960, the Department of Foreign Affairs requested that SMA provide technical assistance for Australian Aid projects in Australia and overseas. In 1967, the Snowy Mountains Scheme was rated one of civil engineering’s ‘Wonders of the Modern World’. As the scheme neared completion, the Australian Government passed an Act of Parliament which recognised SMEC as an agency of the Commonwealth Government. SMEC was established on 24 June 1970. Four years later, in 1974, the Snowy Mountains Scheme was completed.
During the 1970s, SMEC opened a number of offices including: Canberra, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney in 1972, Dhaka in 1978 and Jakarta in 1979. SMEC also carried out international projects in new countries; Indonesia and Vietnam in 1970, Ghana and Uganda in 1976 and Bangladesh in 1977.
In the 1980s, SMEC entered new geographic regions, undertaking projects for the first time in China (1982), Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia (1985) and Egypt (1988). In 1989, SMEC became a Commonwealth Government owned public company, under the national Companies Act; SMEC was corporatized.
The same year, SMEC opened an office in Brisbane. During the 1990s, SMEC was sold to staff as part of a government asset sale in 1993. In 1997, the American Society of Civil Engineers recognised the Snowy Mountains Scheme with a plaque: ‘International Historical Civil Engineering Landmark’, joining the Panama Canal and the Eiffel Tower. Nine new offices were opened in the 1990s including: Delhi (1992), Hong Kong and Manila (1993), Lahore (1997) and Almaty (1999).
SMEC grew into the millennium with various acquisitions to complement SMEC’s existing profile. These included: Brisbane City Enterprises (2005), EGC Pakistan (2007), Dare Sutton Clark (2008), CEIS Pakistan (2009) and Lean and Hayward (2011). SMEC also established subsidiaries including SMEC Urban in 2007, to service urban development clients. In 2008, SMEC entered into a joint venture in Perenia. Perenia provides carbon services to clients looking to respond to the impacts of climate change.
SMEC broke new ground winning projects in numerous new countries for the first time during its 40 year history and it opened offices in Africa, the Middle East, South & Central Asia, Southeast Asia, North & East Asia, and the Pacific, as well as increased its footprint in Australia.
Through its organic growth and acquisition, SMEC is well positioned for further growth and success in the coming years.
