SMEC IN CHINA

SMEC's first project in China was the World Bank funded Lubuge hydro-electric project in Yunnan which was designed and constructed between 1982 and 1989. Since then SMEC has undertaken a wide variety of projects and assignments in more than a dozen provinces in transport, water resources and energy. Technology transfer has always been central to SMEC's Chinese operations which have featured extensive technical training in China, Australia and third countries as well as assistance with many visiting delegations at national or provincial level. SMEC is closely involved with the development of institutional capacity in China and the introduction of modern management practices.
