Our Story
Leading the industry as Australia’s safest civil construction company
Founded in 1998 as Australia Wide Concreting, AWCON has evolved into Australia’s largest and most experienced underground civil construction company. Rebranded in 2015 as a dedicated industry specialist, AWCON is the only company in the country capable of delivering this highly specialised work at scale. Our commitment to excellence and innovation has made us the preferred choice for clients seeking top-tier construction solutions.
With a focus on safety, quality, and efficiency, AWCON delivers high-quality, tailored services for projects ranging from large-scale mining operations to critical infrastructure developments. As we continue to lead the industry, our mission remains clear—setting the standard for safety and service while driving groundbreaking projects forward.
Our approach
How We Work
Sustainability
AWCON’s Sustainability Plans outline how the requirements of an ‘Excellent’ rating will be achieved for both Design (if required) and As Built under the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia’s Infrastructure Sustainability (ISCA IS) tool. These plans take a functional approach to sustainability management with objectives and strategies set for addressing climate change, ecology, heritage, and community and stakeholder issues. AWCON personnel understand their role in implementation – from management to procurement, engineering and construction delivery.
Diversity &
Inclusion
AWCON celebrates its diverse workforce and values it as a source of strength. The company is committed to building an inclusive workplace where people feel valued, empowered and have equal access to opportunities that help them reach their full potential. With established diversity and inclusion programs including a tailored Indigenous Workforce Program, a Veterans Employment Commitment, and a Women in the Workforce Program, AWCON continues to grow its team, while supporting and guiding the next generation of civil construction specialists.
Innovative and best practice solutions
One of AWCON’s major objectives is to keep up with the evolving demands of clients and industry. The AWCON team is continually researching new applications and solutions, sourcing new products and keeping up with the latest technology and construction trends.
Project delivery is backed by ISO-accredited management systems. Our integrated quality, safety and environmental management system is accredited to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001:2018 and ISO 14001:2015.
Collaboration is key
At the end of the day, getting the outcome our client is looking for, and doing so safely, is what matters. In an industry where conditions frequently change, we pride ourselves on our ability and track record for working collaboratively with our clients to ensure project success. This is what AWCON is known for, and the reason clients return time and again.
Culture of accountability
AWCON has a track record of 100% successful completion of every major project, never failing to deliver. AWCON personnel share a set of values and a commitment to hard work and accountability. This culture has earned the company a reputation for quality and reliability.
