Yesterday was R U OK? Day, but checking in with the people around us is something we can do every day.

In civil construction, we spend a lot of time working alongside each other and looking out for one another on site. Over time, we often notice when a workmate isn’t quite themselves, maybe they seem more withdrawn, more agitated or just a little different than usual.

A simple “Are you OK?” can open the door to a conversation someone might really need.

You don’t need to have all the answers. Being there, listening and letting someone know you care can be a meaningful place to start.

Looking out for each other is part of building strong teams and a conversation can make a difference, any day of the year.

A fantastic achievement for Simpson Construction Company for Loch Ard Gorge Blowhole Lookout - Poombeeyt Koontapool, a project recognised as Highly Commended in the $5 million – 10 million Category at the 2026 CCF Victoria Earth Awards!

Parks Victoria engaged Simpson Construction to design and construct the Poombeeyt Koontapool Lookout, a world-class curved viewing structure in the highly protected Port Campbell Marine National Park. Suspended above an active limestone cave system, the striking fibre-reinforced polymer canopy platform provides breathtaking views of the iconic Loch Ard Gorge Blowhole. Developed in close collaboration with the Eastern Maar people, the design reflects the cultural story of Koontapool, the Southern Right Whale. Delivered with stringent environmental controls, the lookout demonstrates technical excellence, cultural respect and environmental stewardship, creating a lasting landmark for visitors to one of Victoria’s most remarkable natural places.

Celebrating a project that has set a high benchmark for excellence. Congratulations to all involved!

Congratulations to Simpson Construction Co. for the St Kilda Pier Redevelopment, winning project of the $30M - $75M at the 2026 CCF Victoria Earth Awards!

Parks Victoria engaged Simpson Construction Company to deliver the landmark St Kilda Pier Redevelopment, a complex marine infrastructure project in one of Melbourne's most iconic and publicly visible locations. The works required construction of a new 680-metre pier, penguin viewing areas, public amenities, architectural finishes, and demolition of the existing structure while maintaining marina access.
Delivered beside heritage-listed Kirby's Kiosk, an active marina, sensitive marine ecology and the St Kilda little penguin habitat, the project demanded exceptional planning, innovation and stakeholder coordination. Simpson Construction successfully delivered a world-class public asset ahead of schedule, safely, sustainably and to an outstanding architectural standard.

From Victoria to the national stage! We’ll see you in Canberra on the 27th November as you represent Victoria at the National Earth Awards!
