Mike Freed - IT Project Manager, Laing O’Rourke Australia

Laing O’Rourke used March IT to provide high speed internet to our accommodation villages and private network links from our Brisbane data centre to several project construction offices. The services provided were faster and more reliable than the satellite services we had as an alternative.

Dan Sherman - Team Leader – IT Systems, Ostwald Brothers

March IT designed and delivered high speed internet and Wi-Fi to our remote accommodation village for the Eurombah Creek Gas Processing Facility project. The in-room Wi-Fi performance was excellent and enabled residents in the village to use Skype, FaceTime and video streaming services like Netflix and FoxtelGo. With limited 3G coverage in the area, this service was highly utilised and appreciated.

Liam Donaldson - Project Manager - Infrastructure, Origin Energy

Origin Energy had a commitment to fully resolve the communications limitations at all of its accommodation villages in the Surat Basin, such that everyone could Skype and FaceTime their family from their room, simultaneously, without interruption and without exception. Origin considered total costs and lead times for Wi-Fi Infrastructure and ongoing services and ultimately selected March IT as the successful partner. March IT were able to build infrastructure and deliver high quality services to our remote sites, sometimes within 2 or 3 weeks of being engaged, and help Origin deliver on its commitment.

Bruce Eickelman - Camp Superintendent, Rimfire Constructions

March IT have been providing Wi-Fi to our remote accommodation village in Spring Gully and I’ve experienced quality customer service and great performance on the Wi-Fi. The in-room Wi-Fi coverage allowed residents in the village to stay connected with their family and friends while they were on site. I always found the staff at March IT to be friendly and helpful and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again in the future.

Derek Greenough - Principal Engineer, Laing O’Rourke Australia

Laing O’Rourke selected March IT to design and deliver high speed internet and Wi-Fi to our accommodation villages, and private network links, Wi-Fi, switching and IP telephones to our project construction offices on a major Liquefied Natural Gas project in remote Queensland. March IT was the only vendor with the capability to provide the capacity and technology we needed within the required timeframes of the project.

Neil Hallows - Deputy Project Manager – Eurombah Creek Gas Processing Facility

I used March IT services in the accommodation village and construction offices during the construction of the Eurombah Creek Gas Processing Facility on the APLNG Project. The high speed internet and Wi-Fi solution for the accommodation village provided every resident access to Skype and FaceTime their family and friends, without exception. The Wi-Fi, switching and telephony services provided for our construction offices enabled our team to safely complete the project on schedule.
