2012 The Year in Review
It’s hard to believe that another year is coming to a close. As part of our end of year wrap up, here are some highlights that we would like to share with you.
In May, we welcomed Dr Peter Hurley as a Consulting Engineer to our team and would like to thank Peter for his contribution in 2012 and in particular his work on the Enterprise Due Diligence Review for Energy Safe Victoria and the 9th edition of the R2A text.
We were also privileged to work with many clients throughout the year. Here are some interesting projects completed in 2012.
