One of the highlights of that job was the successful construction and installation of a 9 m tall precast paneled blast wall. A second highlight would be the on-time completion of the Naseby Substation upgrade. The project had several key dates which were constantly tested due to heavy snow, covid and the remote location of the substation itself.&nbsp;\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What excites you in being a part of CaSE?<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>\"The diversity and range of their project portfolio.
