Maribyrnong Break Through Celebration
Our crew at Maribyrnong River Main Sewer Augmentation project had a lot to celebrate when they broke through after completing an 804m long drive through varying ground conditions at depths of up to 40m below ground level. The ground conditions included a full range of material types including sands, clays and hard rock.
A celebration was held at Moon Dog Footscray (old Franco Cozzo site) to acknowledge the achievement. Great Work!

June Reward & Recognition Award – Anthony Scammell
Anthony received the June Award for supporting the Downer Zero Harm Team in developing a frontline training program for Supervisors.
To ensure supervisors and frontline leaders have the right tools for the job, Anthony took the lead on two of the modules by providing content as well as coordinating input and video footage from SFP Supervisors. This was done over and above his normal responsibilities.
Congratulations Anthony, we can’t wait to see the results of your work! Enjoy shopping at Bunnings with your $150 gift card.
