In 1984 Fred McMurray and Thomas Faggetter (now retired) established what is now one of the most successful company groups in the construction industry. Comprised of companies engaged in hydraulic services construction, the group can be found working throughout Western Australia, the Northern Territory and South East Asia.

Whilst the Sanwell Group specialises in hydraulic services for major construction projects in the commercial, industrial and resource sectors, the group is equally adept in site works comprising earthworks, excavation and fill, as well as infrastructure services of deep sewerage, stormwater drainage, water supply mains and gas services.

Versatility and attention to detail are the hallmarks of the Sanwell Group. Private and government clients from all industries are offered a professional, 'can do' service and a guarantee of a job well done, whatever the job.
