“The LIA was built for occupation of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force. It consisted of a two-story modular container facility in a remote and international location. Key requirements included low maintenance, durability, energy efficiency, and a replicable design. Throughout design and construction, CC Pines Pty Ltd continuously strived to provide services above and beyond these requirements. CC Pines Pty Ltd value-added to the scope of works and built a facility that has enhanced the living conditions of the Papua New Guinea Defence Force.”
