Marine and Civil Maintenance, a leader in infrastructure rehabilitation, has been honoured for its innovative contributions to the industry at the Prime Minister’s international Business Awards in Fiji. The company’s commitment to introducing new ideas, workflows, methodologies, and strategies has significantly enhanced productivity, driving both growth and profitability.
A proud member of the Australia Fiji Business Council, Marine and Civil Maintenance specialises in the repair and maintenance of complex infrastructure assets across Australia and the Pacific, operating in sectors such as water, transport, marine, buildings, and industrial mining. Their expertise is evident in projects like the rehabilitation of Fiji’s Queens and Lautoka Local Wharves, where they addressed deterioration due to harsh environmental conditions since the structures’ construction in 1959. By implementing specialist remediation services, MCM extended the service life of these vital trade infrastructures.
A standout innovation from Marine and Civil Maintenance is their Green Tech Shield, which revolutionises infrastructure maintenance by electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE), which extends the lifespan of critical assets such as ports and bridges. This advancement not only results in substantial cost savings but also minimises the environmental impact associated with new construction. By adopting such sustainable practices, Marine and Civil Maintenance positions itself and Fiji at the forefront of eco-friendly infrastructure management, underscoring a commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions.
The Prime Minister’s International Business Awards in Fiji celebrate businesses that demonstrate excellence, innovation, and contribute significantly to the nation’s economic growth. Organised by Investment Fiji, the 2024 awards emphasised “Business Innovation and Sustainability,” highlighting companies that excel in these critical areas. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Hon. Manoa Kamikamica, at the awards launch, stressed the importance of government and private sector collaboration in fostering a robust business environment. He commended the resilience and innovation of Fijian businesses in adapting to a dynamic global landscape while prioritising sustainability.
The company’s recognition at the PMIBA reflects its dedication to excellence and innovation in infrastructure maintenance. By integrating sustainable technologies like Green Tech Shield, the company not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to environmental conservation. This accolade serves as a testament to MCM’s role in advancing sustainable infrastructure solutions, aligning with Fiji’s broader goals of economic development and environmental stewardship.
