“Encompassing the remotest construction sites, severely limited infrastructure, large volumes of the most diverse cargo, coordination and training of an over 1,100-person on-site workforce, the strictest HSE requirements, as well as crocodiles and snakes—this project had everything needed to make it a unique project. The prestigious award is a great honour for all those involved—not only for our local deugro teams but also for the teams of our client and those of our partners,” said Paul Booth, Regional Director Oceania, deugro.
