The projects involve both inspection, survey and light construction work across Europe and America.

“These awards are a testament to the excellent execution track record for our clients over the past years. Our pipeline of tenders nearing decision is also substantial, so we remain hopeful that the next couple of months will be equally exciting for us.”
