Our Management

The commencement of the pipeline construction was held up due to a delay in obtaining a licence to cross the ARTC corridor (beyond CivilTeam’s control). CivilTeam responded by reprograming work to target other aspects of the contract, and thereby avoid any delay to works.

Value Adding

CivilTeam’s environmental management enabled more trees to be retained, whilst having no negative impact on the works
