Prefabrication / Modularisation

Delivering Smart Infrastructure through necessity-driven innovation:

De-risking: Prefabrication and modularisation mitigate site constraints and simplify delivery in remote locations with limited local infrastructure.
Program Efficiency: Off-site fabrication significantly reduces time spent on site, accelerating project timelines.
Environmental Protection: Minimised exposure to weather and reduced risk of material contamination in sensitive waterways.
Stakeholder Benefit: Less disruption to local communities through streamlined, low-impact construction methods.
Quality & Safety: Controlled fabrication environments enhance build quality and reduce on-site safety risks.
Logistical Advantage: Simplified transport and installation processes improve reliability and reduce resource demands.

Alternative Design

Our alternative design methodology consistently delivers smarter, more sustainable infrastructure by rethinking conventional solutions and placing buildability front-of-mind.

Mandorah Marine Facility (NT)
SMC’s alternative design reduced armour rock volume by ~55% and dredge material by 30%, significantly lowering environmental impact and cost. The project was awarded based on the strength of our design innovation and whole-of-life thinking.
Torres Strait Jetties (Dauan, Saibai & Boigu Islands)
Our prefabricated aluminium jetty modules offered a risk-brokered solution tailored to remote island logistics. The 100-year design was praised for solving tolerance issues, minimising site labour and mitigating impact on the local community and environment.
Pioneer River Pontoon (Mackay)
SMC’s alternative design eliminated four piles, a concrete platform, and two gangways—replacing them with a single 40m-long gangway, simplifying construction and reducing cost.
