Our role encompasses end-to-end program and project management, from initial damage and condition assessments through to reconstruction, acquittal and close-out. The scope includes pre-condition evidence compilation, EPAR development and submission, program planning, procurement, and contract administration under GC21 and MW21, supported by rigorous risk, cost and stakeholder management and full compliance with DRFA guidelines and ISO 9001 quality systems.

BASEC Engineering has coordinated the delivery of Emergency Works (EW), Immediate Reconstruction Works (IRW) and EPAR-funded resoration works, ensuring assets are restored to pre-disaster condition while incorporating resilience and mitigation measures to reduce future risk and improve long-term asset performance.
