< Back to Previous Page“A lot of thought went into the method but I particularly wanted to acknowledge the professional and skillful manner in which the operatives went about their work in less than favorable conditions. They had a good grasp of the safety and operational issues and the concerns of UUE were taken on board very responsibly.”
