“Some of these projects their designs were naturally completely climate-resilient in the sense that some of the subdivisions have had overhead electricity cables so we want to put them underground at least in those subdivisions because that’s governments new way of building resilience into our infrastructure.”

Other projects are being designed for Seravi in Vuda, Viseisei in Nadi and a subdivision in Tavua.
