“With a delighted client, fully operational plant, and no interruption to the town water supply throughout the project, it may appear that this project was all smooth sailing.

The fact that Synertec has been able to deliver unexpectedly good outcomes within this challenging environment is a testament to the focus and commitment of the employees and contractors. Great job everyone,” said Conrad Coombs, Synertec Project Manager.
