Smart developments outlast and outperform Traditional developments
Every year the gap between those that have embraced sustainable technology, and those that have not, is growing exponentially. Join Australia’s market leaders from MRWA/ Downer Mouchel, Leighton, BGC, Rio Tinto, Theiss, Doric and many more (list below) building a better future
Downer Mouchel/ MRWA
MRWA / Downer Mouchel Perth Metro has used our Smart sustainable foundations and Smart bollards on the new Gateway WA , Perth Airport and Freight Access Project (WA’s largest ever, $1 billion road development creating an iconic gateway to WA)
Southern Gateway Fulton Hogan
Supply of sustainable infrastructure to reduce downstream maintenance and improve sustainability of the Southern Gateway. Sign-posts, bollards and barriers were installed using the Smart Sustainable foundations and continue working efficiently today. Recent upgrades included the introduction of spring return posts to reduce damage to Keep left signs that were being impacted on a weekly basis and have not required replacing since.
MRWA Signage
“We embed sustainability into everything we do” MRWA
MRWA have used Smart Sustainable foundations on traffic signage, with the aim of improving safety and improving effectiveness of their maintenance services.
MRWA aim to reduce costs and risks by around 90% over the next 5 years; Reducing the risk of injury to their staff; Reducing disturbance to public and disturbance to underground services; Reducing the on-going consumption of carbon intensive supplies to zero (with the aim of reaching their 2020 target of zero waste ) saving taxpayers millions every year.
MRWA Traffic Bollards
Main Roads Smart Traffic bollards are secured on Smart sustainable foundations and unlike most removable bollards, if badly impacted are replaced in seconds. These bollards were installed over a decade ago and remain in good condition today. Easily removed for wide loads and maintenance, they are extremely low cost to maintain.
As shown left- no damage to foundations when badly impacted. Bollard is simply removed in seconds using tools provided adn a new one dropped into place, autmatically locking in tight.
MRWA Bike Path Bollards
Main Roads had a problem with solid steel (often concrete filled) bike path bollards that were causing injury to bike riders when impacted – so we provided a safe and sustainable solution. Smart Low Impact Bike Path bollards reduce risk of injury as they are made from soft durable polyethylene compound and deflect upon low impact (and self-recover), are removable and relocatable.
Rio Tinto Infrastructure projects
At the forefront of change are some of Australia’s leading mining companies, seeking to reduce their carbon footprint, Rio Tinto, Hamersley Iron and Pilbara Iron mining companies have installed thousands of Smart re-usable foundations that are protected from damage by the Smart self-healing ground socket and can be removed and relocated when the site closes, leaving behind no waste or landfill.
KFC
Bollards protecting drive-through take-away premises are highly vulnerable to damage and cost the managers a great deal to maintain.
Smart KFC operators around Perth Metro and Mandurah region have installed Smart sustainable foundations to drastically reduce the on-going cost of maintenance and protect the expensive footings from damage when impacted by vehicles.
Wanneroo City Council
City of Wanneroo have started using the Smart foundations and Impact Recovery System to secure their bollards. These bollards look like solid in-ground bollards but are easily removable for allowing access to the parks and easily replaceable for maintenance. If impacted at low speed the bollard self-recovers.
If impacted at high speed the bollard prevents access to the park and is removable and re-usable time & time again.
Transfield Maintenance
Transfield maintenance are responible for maintaining the grounds at WA’s leading award winning tourist destination Hillary’s Marina. Transfield has applied Smart technology throught the marina to redcue maintene costs adn improve efficiency of their infrastructure.
The Marina is extremely well maintained with all infrastructure secured using Smart foundations
City of Perth
City of Perth approached Smart Urban for a simple solution to the growing cost of maintaining bollards in the city centre. They had tried bollards on spring bases but they became weak over time and posed a serious litigation risk (especially outside the pubs!)
We developed the Smart Impact Recovery System and now, although they look like solid in-ground bollards) the majority of the bollards in the city are Smart Impact Recovery Bollards.
City of Fremantle
City of Fremantle were finding it incredibly difficult to maintain bollards in the busy High Street and after spekaing with City fo Perth they also began using Smart Bollards and sustaianable foudantions for their sigange.
They have substantially reduced the workload and can now replace damaged items in the busy streets without disturbing the public. “Maintaining the busy High Street is just so much easier thanks to Smart Urban” Devon Cunningham
Tomen Corporation- Japan
Tomen Corporation (A subsidiary of Toyota Corporation) has taken our Smart sustainable foundations to Japan and has established trials with the Nigarta Police Department with the aim of representing Smart Urban in Japan. Trial completed succesfully.
We are now working to finalise the largeer dimensions and will establish this market for our Australian innovation.

Smart developments cost substantially less to maintain, but as you can see, the difference is not only financial.
| Whilst traditional developments remain in a state of constant decline, Smart developments grow increasingly efficient as the money usually spent on maintenance can be spent on further improvements. Please feel free to call and ask for a verbal reference from our client base. |
