Spatial Excellence Awards for AAM

The AAM project which received both national awards was entitled: ‘Measure, Monitor, Mapping' Campaign an industrial survey project on BlueScope Steel's Number 5 Blast Furnace Reline Project and was a joint submission with our client, BlueScope Steel.

The ‘Measure, Monitor, Mapping' project was considered by the judges to be one of the more complex tasks undertaken in its field. The judges commented that this winning project was an excellent demonstration of how surveyors adapted their knowledge and experience to capture high quality measurements within critical and short timeframes under hazardous conditions.

The objective of the Reline Project was to renovate a 27-storey tall furnace and facilitate its safe and efficient operation for at least another 15 years. AAM Surveyors were involved at all stages of the Reline Project for a wide variety of challenging industrial surveying tasks in this hazardous environment.
In addition to this project winning the Thomas Mitchell Award, the top prize in the New South Wales 2010 Excellence in Surveying and Spatial Information Awards, AAM also won the top geospatial award in Queensland, the JM Serisier Award for Overall Excellence for the "Virtual Brisbane" submission with Brisbane City Council.
