Not content to just build using traditional construction methods, McMahon's have pioneered the use of 3D Machine Guidance techniques to aid our construction process. Whether it be laser levelling through to complete GPS control of the largest dozer's McMahon's have been at the forefront of this technology and will continue to do so. Utilising the best in data management techniques couple with our extensive R&D facility you can be sure that the machinery tasked with undertaking your project will be state of the art.
 
Our technology is ideal for race course construction and gives us the ability of completing the job in much less time and with much more precision to that of most construction companies. We have worked on several race courses throughout Australia and have the ability to complete each and every phase of the construction to the highest possible standard, from bulk earthworks, drainage & irrigation installation, to the final levelling and grassing of the track.
