McMahon Services is an Australian construction and demolition company. Founded in 1959, it is based in Adelaide.

History

[edit]

McMahon Services was founded in Adelaide in 1959 by Glen McMahon as a demolition company. In 1990, sons Andrew and David took over the management and the company diversified into construction.[1][2] It is contracted by governments and private industry for construction and demolition projects in most states of Australia.

McMahon Services is one of 12 Class A asbestos removal licence holders (licensed to remove friable asbestos or asbestos-contaminated dust)[3] in South Australia[4] and claims to be Australia's largest asbestos services provider.[5]

In September 2020, McMahon purchased Asurco Contracting.[6] [7]
