What have you learned from working with the locals?
The local community taught us the meaning of hard work, dedication and appreciation. This community had been awaiting the completion of this bridge for over a decade and were truly appreciative that we were there to help. Their effort was inspiring and invaluable, truthfully it was the only reason we were able to finish ahead of schedule as a team.
