Water & Environment
A well-considered plan for managing and mitigating these impacts is a common sense way to ensure a site’s long-term amenity.
We understand that navigating through a council’s approval process is a tricky time for most projects. Unexpected delays or drawn out approval times can add costs, stress and even impact on a project’s viability. SYJ has many years’ experience working on stormwater approvals. And our engineers’ established relationships with many councils and understanding of their particular concerns and requirements can help streamline this process.
As well as helping clients obtain development consents by designing stormwater management plans, we have worked with several Sydney councils to devise strategies for within catchment areas or entire local government areas to improve water quality or flows.
Structural
Our structural engineers are always focusing on client. We work to achieve our client’s goals, not just engineering goals.
At SYJ, we try not to see engineering as a process but instead consider each project’s unique challenges. The challenge is finding the simplest and most elegant structural solution that meets the needs of our client and stands the test of time. With a reputation built on providing state-of-the-art design, quality construction documents, and cost-effective solutions, our experts are responsive to our clients, creating trust and long-lasting relationships.
Intense structural expertise and a highly educated staff, working alongside one of the region’s brilliant structural engineers, earned widespread respect among its clients, employees, and peers.
We apply our technical skills across a broad spectrum of projects from high rise towers to large industrial buildings to highly detailed architecture.
We enjoy the journey of collaborating to create great spaces and places for people to live, work and play.
Building Information Modelling
Building Information Modelling, or BIM, is the digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a built asset – everything from bridges to buildings.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the new wave of building design, incorporating involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of structures. The use of BIM facilitates design as it enables designers to cascade update information on related elements simultaneously.
At SYJ we integrate the use of BIM within our design methodology to make the most efficient use of design efforts while producing a higher quality product.
Civil
SYJ offers engineering and environmental services to support full project delivery. This involves roads, flood, stormwater management etc.
Our civil team has a proactive approach that optimises solutions and streamlines delivery of urban infrastructure and land development work. This involves urban redevelopment, subdivisions, public parks and open spaces, sports fields, industrial facilities, roads, flood management, stormwater management, water sensitive urban design and water infrastructure.
Our civil team is engaged with industry, authorities, project stakeholders, and community. We have built a strong reputation by being collaborative and involving all key stakeholders in the critical decisions that set strong foundations for projects to succeed. To achieve the best result, it’s essential for us to work openly and inclusively. We always look at the whole problem and the needs of our client, to come up with the best solution.

Building Services – Mechanical
Our mechanical team have extensive experience across a wide variety of project disciplines.
We are capable of handling all aspects of any size project, from conceptual design through to construction management. Our mechanical engineers provide cost effective, practical and energy-efficient designs for building heating, ventilation and air-conditioning.
Building Services – Electrical
Our electrical team are equipped with a wide variety of expertise to provide assistance to the full range of in-house building services.
We offer design-led, sustainable electrical engineering solutions to clients and projects all around Australia. Whether it be a commercial development, residential building or civic facility we offer experienced, responsive, value-add electrical engineering services.
Building Services - Hydraulic & Fire
Our fire and hydraulic team are experienced in handling all types of projects to ensure compliance with all relevant standards.
Our work is top-notch water, gas and pressure systems, what our engineers are really aiming for is a solution that best fits our client’s needs and objectives. To each new project, we bring technical ability and experience in the hydraulic design of all scales and complexities.
Our designers love the different challenges that come with different building and project types. Working on a brand new building is a blank canvas, and finding an optimum design solution is a proven skill of our team. We also frequently work on retrofit projects, where we are faced with an operational building that needs to stay operational. These jobs are a brilliant challenge for our design, staging and project management skills.
No matter the project, elegant design and responsive solutions are our commitment.
Construction Engineering Services
We take a lifecycle approach to our client’s projects.
Early collaboration allows us to not only focus from the outset on the ultimate project objectives, but to identify risk, overcome potential issues and work efficiencies into design and construction methodologies at the early stage.
