- Managed the logistics of getting plant, materials and people to a remote site
- Kept the works moving through extreme weather
- Managed demanding contract administration, with rigorous documentation

Scope grew, budget heldunplanned in-situ stabilisation added mid-project, with the road still delivered on budget.
The outcome
15 km of the Gulf Developmental Road between Mount Surprise and Georgetown was completed for DTMR in 2013, on budget and within the revised timeframe, despite a substantially larger scope than originally planned.
