👀 Watch this space! 🌊 Albany’s first #waveenergy generator project is set for deployment as the M4 device is transferred to the water at the Albany Marina prior to deployment in King George Sound. For six months, the device will generate #cleanenergy from the movement of waves, transmitting real-time data on its effectiveness, providing crucial data on the potential of the Great Southern as a site for future wave projects.

We are immensely pleased to share this important milestone as the M4 Wave Energy Device has successfully arrived from the Albany construction yard, now assembled at the Waterfront Marina. The permit for the oversize transport of a prototype was a challenge over the past few weeks, and we thank and congratulate our Head Contractor SMC Marine, with support from MCB Construction, Lee's Transport & Coastal Cranes. Stay tuned for updates on the next phases when the device gets lifted into the water, ballasted, and towed to site. Exciting times!

We’ve opened the flood gates… literally! Now that the structure of the new Sydney Fish Market is above ground and the basement is complete, we have rewatered the cofferdam, flooding the area and letting the sea life and seawater back in.   The basement is now fully submerged in tidal conditions and functions as a hydrostatic structure. Under the surface, we have also installed 40 hanging fish habitat lattices and have secured 298 seawall tiles to the basement wall to promote the marine bio-habitat. Thanks to our consultant and subcontractor teams for helping us achieve this milestone!   Works are now underway to remove the temporary structure of the cofferdam and construct the remaining wharf structures.   The new Sydney Fish Market is proudly funded by the NSW Government. #builttooutperform

SMC Marine is more than happy to be involved in this project as the head contractor.

Trial assembly of The University of Western Australia’s M4 wave energy prototype is complete in time for the grand opening coming on Tuesday 03/09/24 The UWA Oceans Institute

SMC Marine is proud to be supporting local business and schools!

Oh the excitement! The M4 wave energy prototype is ready for assembly and electrical integration. Sunflower Yellow and 22-metre long, it will make ocean renewable energy eye candy once deployed in Albany's King George Sound this summer. #innovation #decarbonisation Blue Economy CRC The University of Western Australia Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation SMC Marine

Last week the Port Authority of New South Wales celebrated 10 years of operating as a consolidated organisation. Most people are unaware they even exist - when ports run smoothly, the community doesn't see or hear of the organisations behind them. They produced a great video bringing their impact to light: https://lnkd.in/gzfc_s7H "Preventing 750,00 truck journeys" and "250,000 tonnes of CO2 emisssions" was just one of the reasons to be grateful for their quiet achievements.

We were pleased to be executing this Design and Construct Contract for the City of Mandurah together with our chosen subcontractor Bellingham Marine. Well done to our project manager Lindsay Bligh and the project team!

Great presentation for Engineers Australia in Albany, Western Australia. Wiebke Ebeling, Rana Everett and Manuel Grosshans provided a snapshot on the development and construction of The University of Western Australia (UWA) M4 Wave energy converter. All round a positive response from those in attendance with an appreciation for SMC Marine accomplishing it using local Albany contractors. Big thanks also to MCB Construction for hosting, UWA Girls+ in Engineering for mobilising all the Albany STEM teachers and to Susie Watterston for being the friendly force behind the scenes making it all happen. We are hoping to facilitate the next event when it is time to launch. Stay tuned.
