The right result starts with the right gear on site. From 1T to 50T excavators, posi tracks, rollers, graders, tippers, trucks, moxys, dozers and watercarts, our fleet is built to support a wide range of civil projects. With specialist attachments and GPS rovers, we can tailor our equipment to suit the specific needs of each job.

SME Civil recently reconstructed 3.4 km of Old Lancefield Road in Woodend, VIC for Macedon Ranges Shire Council, strengthening a key rural link and lifting safety for local residents.
During construction, our team focused on minimising risk, quality and safety compliance, maintaining access and minimising disruption for the local community.
Contaminated and hazardous material management:
Geotechnical and environmental investigations identified Category C contaminated soils. SME Civil:
• Segregated contaminated material on impermeable hardstands
• Wrapped, labelled and transported soils using licensed carriers
• Maintained full traceability through EPA Waste Transport Certificates
• Engaged independent hygienists to monitor air quality and asbestos fibres
These controls followed EPA Industrial Waste Resource Guidelines and our Site Environmental Management Plan and achieved full compliance.
General and electrical safety compliance
• Working under live High Voltage power. SME Civil:
• Maintained full electrical safety compliance
• Excavated adjacent to HV power poles including implementation of temporary supports required
• Engaged with power authority to carry out permit processes
• Safely completed nearly 300m of drainage pipe and pits installation under the live power lines
• Maintaining power continuity to residents for the duration of works
Traffic and public interface
Working under live traffic created significant public and worker interface risks. SME Civil:
• Developed detailed Traffic Management Plans in accordance with AS 1742.3 and secured Council approval
• Deployed accredited traffic controllers, signage and barriers to manage vehicle, pedestrian and public transport movements
• Staged construction to maintain one lane access for emergency vehicles at all times
• Coordinated advance public notifications and detour signage with local and public transport authorities
SME Civil feels proud to support the Woodend community with a more durable, safer road asset that will serve residents for years to come.
