This award acknowledged the outstanding performance of our construction team working in environmentally challenging conditions. Through careful planning and execution the site crews developed methods to reduce any environmental impact to well below the levels allowed for under the environmental management plan. Our environmental commitment both to our client as well as to the ecological system surrounding Barrow Island and the Greater Gorgon gas fields has contributed to this high profile project being granted environmental approval.
