Every year UEA supports and recognises both R U OK? Day and MIC Fly the Flag Day! Our team is proud to be flying the flag, demonstrating our strong support for MATES in Construction and our commitment to mental health in the workplace. Mates in Construction uses this day to raise awareness about mental health, su***de prevention and the power of simply checking in with the people around us.

Fly the Flag Day is an important reminder that looking after our mates is just as critical as every other part of workplace safety. We’re proud to have one ASIST-trained team member, numerous Connectors and many other team members who have completed MIC General Awareness Training. With this shared knowledge and experience, our team is better prepared to recognise when someone might be doing it tough and offer support - often by starting with a simple but powerful question: “R U OK?”

UEA is proud to announce the successful completion of our 1,180-metre HDD crossing of the Hawkesbury River as part of the Richmond System Wastewater Upgrade. Known for being a highly demanding area, the Hawkesbury presented an extensive number of challenges ranging from cobbles, boulders, fractured Hawkesbury Sandstone, poor fill material, limited project access, compact site footprints and more, keeping the UEA team on their toes. The project did present UEA the opportunity to showcase a range of trenchless techniques and tooling, including pneumatic pipe hammering, the 300T Gallagher HDD rig, dual-rig operations, augering, PDC, hole openers and more. We are appreciative to have completed this project alongside BMD Group and Sydney Water and grateful to have been given the opportunity.

UEA is excited to share this video showing the completion of the Umina Beach HDD Ocean Outfall project. UEA was engaged by Ventia to drill two 450 metre HDDs to house future telecommunication cables. UEA’s scope of works also involved design works and management of the diving works carried out by Dive Co.

We're proud to share the successful delivery of UEA’s scope of work for Package 5B of Sydney Water's Wilton Integrated Servicing Program. Engaged by Vaughan Infrastructure, the UEA team designed, drilled and installed 650 metres of 250mm, 560mm and 800mm PN20 HDPE pipelines. Challenging site constraints required the HDD bores to be designed with just 1 metre of horizontal separation, adding complexity to the construction of this critical drinking water and recycled water infrastructure.

At UEA, we know that our greatest asset is our people. When our team is healthy, supported, and thriving, they're able to deliver the exceptional service our clients expect. As part of our ongoing commitment to employee wellbeing, every team member is offered a fully funded Annual Health Check during work hours. The program includes a doctor's consultation, blood pressure assessment, comprehensive blood testing, and follow-up medical advice where needed.

By providing these health checks at no cost to our employees, and during paid work time, we're making it easier for our people to prioritise their health without sacrificing their personal time. Just as importantly, every employee's medical information remains completely private. Results are provided directly to the individual by the medical practitioner and are treated with the utmost confidentiality.

Looking after our people isn't just a benefit, it's part of who we are. By investing in the wellbeing of our workforce, we're building a healthier, more engaged team that is ready to support our clients with professionalism, reliability, and care.

In 2008 UEA undertook its first Maxi Rig project at Shannon’s Creek. This job was completed for CPB, formally Leighton Contractors, using the Vermeer D300x500 drill rig. The scope of work consisted of four straight bores, each approximately 330 metres. The bores were to house a 110mm communications conduit, two 140mm electrical conduits and a 900mm water main. A great introduction and the first of many large bore projects!

UEA successfully completed a significant ocean outfall project on the Central Coast of NSW, installing two x 101mm ID steel conduits. The two pilot bores were each drilled in two shifts through sandy conditions, with steel casing installed to maintain stability and prevent fluid loss. Working in a sensitive marine environment and coordinating complex dive operations required careful planning and ex*****on from UEA’s team and subcontractor Dive Co
