Gunther Civil | 9 recalls. “We’re entering the project into the CCF Earth Awards this year as it is a job that both ourselves and the client are proud of. The submission process has been exciting and we look forward to the judge’s verdict over the coming months.” “That project is, in a nutshell, what Gunther Civil is all about,” he says. “There was design involved, it required rapid deployment, it was in a remote location, and it was a highly technical project that could only be completed by a small yet multi-skilled crew due to its remoteness and accommodation restrictions. We completed it on time and on budget and most of all with zero LTI’s, environmental or heritage incidents – with 13,000 man hours recorded.” Gunther Civil is actually still working on different areas of the project, almost a year later. Though the initial scope of their work took less than 60 days, Rio Tinto, SKM and the two head contractors – SCEE and Monadelphous – were impressed by their efforts and have given them continuous work since. “They know how we operate, and they know what we’re capable of,” Anthony says. “So they keep coming back.” Moving forward, those are the kinds of relationships Gunther Civil wants to continue to forge. They also want to keep evolving – in five years’ time, Anthony hopes to grow the company’s turnover by at least five times the turnover of the last calendar year. He says they will do that by diversifying further into the oil and gas market as well as metropolitan infrastructure and development, and continuing to meet client needs wherever and whenever they can. “We want to back up what we say we can do with what we actually can do,” he concludes. “We want to have the right guys and the latest equipment to allow us to do that. And we want to be well knownAustralia-wide as a reputable resource infrastructure contractor working to industry’s best practice.”
