Veris Limited’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Aqura Technologies, has secured a $1.1 million contract to undertake an upgrade of the in situ accommodation network at Fortescue Metals Group’s Kangi 1,850 room accommodation village in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia.
Veris said the contract will see Aqura design and deliver physical upgrades to the Advanced Fibre Optic (GPON) network to ensure a high level of reliability of services to village guests.
Aqura, which has commenced the design phase and will look to complete the scope of works by July 2021, will utilise its specialist technical expertise to establish an extremely robust platform for the delivery of entertainment services and wellbeing programs to the large workforce accommodated at the site.
“We’re pleased to kick off a new engagement with Fortescue who are looking to our in-house team to provide a high-quality foundation for their Kangi Village network,” said Aqura Technologies CEO Travis Young.
“The contract award is testament to the strong quality and safety record of Aqura in the design and delivery of high quality network infrastructure.
“We are very mindful of the benefits of this type of investment which fundamentally supports and enhances the positive wellbeing for FIFO staff who are away from home for extended periods and need reliable infrastructure to support connections to family and friends.”
