“Just a quick note to thank the team for a successful project carrying out the concrete repairs to our Unit 2 and 3 sub-basements. The works were completed to a high standard with a good safely record in one of the station’s most difficult environments. A special note to Mark for his management of the on-site works. He has successfully led teams on site for a number of difficult projects now, requiring working under permit restrictions, co-ordinating with other working parties and close man-management in sometimes high-risk environments. Mark and his team have built and maintained a reputation as one of our most trusted teams on site and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
