WGA is thrilled to have received the Innovation Award at the 2024 Rio Tinto Supplier Recognition Awards.
The Rio Tinto Supplier Recognition Awards acknowledge valued partners who demonstrate exceptional performance and contribute positively to their business and local communities. With roughly 160 nominations across various categories, being awarded the Innovation Award is a significant achievement for WGA.
Our passion for driving smarter solutions was recognised for our work on the Parker Point and Cape Lambert life extension projects. Here, we didn’t just leverage cutting-edge photogrammetry technology, we overlaid a brand-new 3D asset register within the same space. These interactive and visual tools empower Rio Tinto’s delivery and asset management teams with superior control and flexibility for the long haul.
“Our success stems from our commitment to innovative problem-solving. We move beyond simply adopting new technologies. Instead, we forge partnerships with informed clients like Rio Tinto to develop customised solutions that expedite successful integration. By prioritising innovative design tailored to specific needs, we ensure a smoother transition, fostering a more efficient and safer future for all stakeholders” Luke Campbell, Ports and Marine Lead, Director.
Jane (Yane) Gagaleski, Associate and Principal Structural Engineer, who accepted the award on behalf of WGA and the project team, said it perfectly: “This nomination validates that WGA’s innovation strategy translates directly into the work of our people and is valued by our clients. We’re committed to further developing our innovative systems in the marine space and bringing them to real-world applications.”
A huge thank you to Rio Tinto for fostering a supportive supply chain environment that allows bright ideas to flourish and to all members of the WGA team who have contributed to this significant award!
