Workcommenced in April 1993and we completed thepipeline in 12 months,against a completionschedule of 16 months.Pertamina, the stateownedoil and gascompany of Indonesia,commended Punj Lloydfor its early projectcompletion.Some of the challengesfaced in the executionof the project were thelanguage barrier andcultural differences, whichwe overcame by hiringand training local staff atthe offi ce and site levels.Interacting and workingwith the locals also gaveus a valuable insight intothe Indonesian workculture. We created apermanent bank of trainedlocal personnel whocontinue to work on allour subsequent projectsin Indonesia. The pipelineroute passed through theisland of Java which hasthe highest density ofpopulation in the world.Working through thepopulated villages andtowns was a logisticalchallenge, both for ourmen and machines.
