We are proud to have been involved in the new Tamworth Region Invest video, showcasing what makes our region such a great place to live, work, start or grow a business, and invest.

Regional businesses are doing incredible things!
Delivering locally while succeeding across NSW, nationwide and internationally. We think outside the box, embrace opportunities and prove that being regionally based is no barrier to thinking big.

With the third-strongest economic growth in NSW, Tamworth continues to grow and create opportunities across a diverse range of industries. Add the lifestyle (no losing time on commutes here), community and space to build something great, and it is easy to see why people and businesses are choosing our region.

Hanlons Consulting celebrates 23 years in business this year. While our work now takes us across NSW, we remain incredibly proud of our Tamworth base.

A big thank you to the Hanlons staff who volunteered (with perhaps a little friendly encouragement) to step in front of the camera!

Can you spot our very own Hanlons star?

Multiple crews. Multiple locations.

Over recent weekends, Hanlons survey teams have been travelling across the state providing specialised surveying, engineering design and construction support to help critical rail works stay accurate, safe and on schedule.

Hanlons supported our valued partner UGL Regional Linx during a weekend shutdown to replace asphalt level-crossing infrastructure damaged by road traffic.

Our involvement covered the project from the initial survey through to final as-builts:

📐 Initial site survey
🚆 Level-crossing engineering design and track alignment
🦺 On-site construction surveying support
📋 Final as-built drawings

The Edilon Sedra system is one of only a small number installed across the UGLRL network. Hanlons has now supported three of these and all completed within their allocated Local Possession Authority timeframes.

As with all rail shutdowns, they are time critical with little room for delay and no guesswork. Every millimetre matters, every minute counts, and having an experienced team on the ground makes all the difference.

Wherever the work takes us, we are proud to be able to provide geographically mobile teams delivering practical, responsive solutions.

Congratulations to all on another successful project delivery and thank you for the opportunity to be involved.

Surveying is returning to the University of Newcastle, and that is certainly worth celebrating! 📐

Last Friday, our Managing Director and current President of the Institution of Surveyors NSW, Mitch Hanlon, attended UoN’s Surveying Futures Forum and official program launch.

Mitch delivered a vision talk on behalf of ISNSW and joined university, government and industry leaders to discuss the future of the profession, the growing demand for skilled surveyors and the importance of accessible education and strong career pathways.

The University’s new Surveying programs will commence in 2027, with the redesigned Bachelor of Surveying (Honours) combining flexible online learning, dedicated on-campus field intensives, practical experience, industry-led learning and emerging geospatial technologies.

This flexible model will create greater opportunities for regional students and people balancing work, family and study to pursue a professional career while remaining connected to their

We are incredibly proud of Mitch’s advocacy and also acknowledge our co-Director Tim Youman, whose contribution behind the scenes was instrumental in keeping Surveying alive at Newcastle.

It was also wonderful to see one of our Graduate Surveyors Douglas Pianta participate in the event’s poster series. Doug presented two very different projects Hanlons have been involved in being Baiada’s Oakburn processing plant project and the Werris Creek Gap Underbridge Replacement. Both projects demonstrating the enormous variety a surveying career can offer.

Congratulations to Associate Professor Mehdi Khaki, Lloyd Pilgrim, the UoN Surveying Industry Advisory Group, ISNSW and the many people across education, government and industry who worked together to make it possible.

Know a young person who enjoys technology, problem-solving, working outdoors and making a tangible difference in their community?

Rail surveying with a pretty impressive backdrop 🌉

You would be hard-pressed to find a better location for a weekend rail project than the beautiful Hawkesbury River.

One of our Survey teams were on site at the Hawkesbury River Rail Bridge over the weekend providing survey support for the installation of protective walls ahead of future painting and restoration works.

The views may have stolen the show, but the job itself was all about precision.

With trains continuing to use the bridge, the walls needed to be installed in exactly the right position while maintaining the required rail clearances. Our team provided the survey control and checks needed to confirm everything was safely positioned and clear of passing trains.

It is the type of work our rail surveyors do so well.

Behind the scenes, working closely with contractors, solving problems on site and making sure the next stage of the project can move forward safely.

From track renewals and shutdowns to bridge works and infrastructure upgrades, Hanlons supports rail projects across NSW with an experienced, responsive and geographically mobile team.

There is more work planned at the Hawkesbury River Rail Bridge over the coming months, and we are proud to be playing our part in the restoration of this impressive structure.

We are also looking forward to a few more weekends with views like these!

Great work by everyone involved.

RAIL SAFE. EVERY DAY. EVERY SITE.

Rail Safety Week places an important spotlight on safety across all rail networks.

Living and working across NSW, our team has worked on hundreds of level crossings throughout the state. Across many rail projects, we regularly encounter passive level crossings on rail lines that may only see the occasional train.

When travelling regionally, it is important to be aware of the increased risks around these seemingly quiet rail lines. A crossing may not have boom gates, flashing lights or warning bells, but that does not mean the line is inactive.

For the work we carry out at Hanlons, every rail site is different. Every shutdown has its own challenges. Every measurement, set-out, verification and conversation matters.

Working in complex rail environments demands preparation, communication, attention to detail and the confidence to stop when something isn’t right.

At Hanlons, being rail safe means looking after our people, our project partners, rail passengers, road users and the wider community. Every day. Every site.

This Rail Safety Week, we encourage everyone approaching a railway crossing to slow down, stay alert, obey the signs, remove distractions and never assume the line is clear.

Safety is more than just a week. It is how we plan, how we work and how we help ensure everyone gets home safely.

RAIL SAFE. EVERY DAY. EVERY SITE.
