Thank you for considering McConnell Dowell. This short capability statement explains a bit more about the benefits of working with us and showcases our capabilities and some of the interesting projects we deliver.
From remote resources and energy projects to city-shaping infrastructure, we've built thousands of quality assets and facilities.
Engineering-led, our expertise has grown steadily to span building, civil, electrical, fabrication, marine, mechanical, pipelines, rail, tunnel and underground construction..
We do that through delivering projects that connect, sustain and enhance communities, and through providing career opportunities that challenge, reward and grow our people.
We also have five company values that guide our behaviours and decisions. Our values are:
We also understand that construction today is as much about community and sustainability as it is about concrete and steel. Our unwavering objective and commitment is to deliver what we promise to our customers, while protecting and enhancing our people, the community and the environment.
Our services encompass the complete project lifecycle—from early concept design to commissioning and ongoing maintenance. We tailor each solution to suit our customer's specific project objectives and preferred delivery approach.
We're experienced working in all types of conditions and locations, on land or off shore, from the heat of the Australian desert to the tropical rainforests of Indonesia. No matter how difficult or remote the site, it’s our creative solutions that our resources customers value.
Our construction capability covers every aspect of the resources supply chain - from pit or well to port.
After extensive pre-planning and a fast mobilisation, we constructed the Agnew Gas Pipeline Project for APA Group in the south-southwest of Western Australia. The new pipeline supplies gas to the Agnew gold mine site to supplement the mine’s renewables-fuelled power supply.
Our scope consisted of the construction of a 25 km long, DN150 mm, dual layer FBE coated, AS2885 compliant, high pressure natural gas pipeline, along with the tie-ins to the swan necks at the above ground Kyarra Offtake Station and the Agnew Delivery Station.
We constructed the Lake Way Gas Pipeline (LWP) and the Karlawinda Gas Pipeline (KGP) projects for APA Group in Western Australia.
The LWP pipeline is located 15 kilometres south of Wiluna and transports natural gas from APA’s Goldfields Gas Pipeline (GGP) to SO4’s Lake Way facility. SO4 aims to become a major exporter of Sulphate of Potash and the LWP pipeline provides gas for fuelling power generating facilities and other equipment within their process plant.
We constructed the Murrin Murrin Looping Project for APA Group, east of Lenora in Western Australia. The objective of the project was to increase the capacity of the Murrin Murrin Lateral to enable APA to service future downstream customers.
Our scope consisted of the construction of a 13.8 km long, 200 mm diameter high pressure gas pipeline, along with the tie-ins to an existing above-ground offtake station. The pipeline runs from a connection off the existing Murrin Murrin Lateral.
The FTP2 Project was awarded to our Thailand team and involved approximately 70 km of 42" high-pressure gas pipeline constructed between Rayong LNG Terminal in the south to the Wang Noi – Kaeng Khoi Pipeline Tie-in Station in the north.
Work was spread over 300 km and involved more than 20 km of trenchless pipe installation and construction of significant above-ground facilities. The peak site workforce exceeded 2,800 across 50 discrete work locations.
We joint ventured with ITP (IMJV) to design and construct the VTB (Vacuum Tower Bottoms) Subsea Pipeline for ExxonMobil in Jurong Island, Singapore.
Vacuum Tower Bottoms are the left over bottom product of distillation, which can be processed in cokers and used for upgrading into gasoline, diesel and gas oil.
FGEN LNG Corporation (FGEN) engaged us to build and deliver the Interim Offshore Terminal Project ("IOT Project") at their LNG terminal in Batangas, in the Philippines.
We undertook the engineering, procurement and construction of both the Multi-Purpose Jetty and Onshore Gas Receiving Facility. The new Multiple Purpose Jetty is a permanent modification of the existing liquid fuel jetty which we constructed in 1998.
Our ability to solve technical challenges creatively, means we find ways of delivering complex civil structures with minimal disruption to the community and our customers' operations.
We partnered with Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) to deliver the Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road Upgrade in Melbourne's south eastern growth corridor.
Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road is a key north-south arterial route through the City of Casey in Melbourne's outer south east connecting South Gippsland Highway to the freeway network and Narre Warren. It plays a critical role in the local road network, providing network connectivity for the established areas of Narre Warren, Cranbourne and the fast-growing suburb of Cranbourne East. It also provides a key link between South Gippsland Highway, Princes Highway and the Monash Freeway.
We partnered with Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) to deliver the Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road Upgrade, a key transport route in Melbourne's outer south-eastern growth corridor.
This vital upgrade lowered the risk and severity of crashes, improved traffic flow and travel times, and introduced a new link to the southeast's walking and cycling network.
We successfully upgraded a 4 km stretch of Epping Road in Melbourne’s rapidly growing northern corridor — a key infrastructure project enhancing traffic flow, safety, and connectivity for over 35,000 daily road users, 85 local businesses, and 759 properties along the route. This was our fifth successful project for MRPV.
