Lae Port Development Project Moves Ahead

The last steel pipe pile of the Lae Tidal Wharf Phase I Project in Papua New Guinea was successfully driven down recently, marking the full completion of the pile-sinking task of this project.

The whole construction was free from accidents and the quality met the demand of clients, which lays a solid foundation for the construction of superstructure of the port. And this project was affirmed by both the client and the engineer.

The project department will keep the good posture, and conduct the construction in a down-to-earth manner to build a high-quality project for the local society while showing the competence of CHEC.
