Brisbane’s Tough Triathletes

Thiess Kentz triathlon team with Thiess sports team

The Thiess Kentz Brisbane-based triathlon team was recently invited to combine forces with the Thiess sports team to take up the challenge of participating in the Annual Business Review Weekly (BRW) Triathlon. Michael Dowling, Estimator, Asten McGurk, Contracts Administrator, and Tom Mangan, Recruitment Officer, made up the Thiess Kentz triathlon team.

The BRW Triathlon is held annually countrywide across Australia and is designed to encourage company “team-bonding” and participation. The 3-person relay race comprises of each person completing a 400-metre swim, a 12-km cycle and a 4-km run before tagging their next team member.

The Thiess sports team managed to attract 60 enthusiastic supporters for the event and the Thiess Kentz competitors did their supporters proud. Well done to all those who took part!

On 2nd August 2008 Martin Walsh (Country Manager, Qatar Kentz) and Alan McFadden (Business Development Manager, Qatar Kentz) both received a Certificate of Appreciation from the Philippines Independence Day Organising Committee (PINOC) 2008. PINOC was represented by Lawrence Villamin, president of Alliance of Doha Jarheads (ADJ), one of PINOC's supporting organisations.

The certificates are in recognition of Qatar Kentz's invaluable support during the week-long celebration of the 110th Philippine Independence Day in June. Qatar Kentz partnered with ADJ in providing entertainment for children and adults alike during the celebrations – just one of the many ways of showing its commitment to supporting the different communities that reside in Qatar.

Kentz Caspian recently held a summer barbeque to celebrate the handover of operational responsibility from Niall Barry to Brendan Toomey and to acknowledge the great commitment from the project teams working on the Process, Compression and Water Injection (PCW) Offshore Project and the Sangachal Terminal Expansion Project.

Many of the Process, Compression, Water Injection and Utilities (PCWU) team could not attend the party because of the offshore rotations, but their colleagues remembered them in their celebrations. Among the party attendees were Selim Huseinzade, Baku Office Manager; Huseyn Asadov, Government Affairs; Save Mahadeo, Project Coordinator; Karam Chand, PCWU Electrical Supervisor and Marvin Faisan, Sangachal Mechanical Supervisor.
