CPB Contractors' Laura Andersen Awarded for Contribution to a Project

CPB Contractors’ Senior Environmental Advisor Laura Andersen has been announced as the 2024 Contribution to a Project award winner at the National Association of Women in Construction's (NAWIC) Tasmanian awards. 

Receipt of this formally recognises Laura’s significant contribution to TasWater’s Penna Recycled Water Scheme (PRWS) project, including the positive example she sets for her team and how she approaches environmental stewardship.

Laura is known for being a proactive, strategic thinker, and her leadership style is described as respectful, collaborative and calm under pressure. These attributes, combined with her strong environmental expertise, have benefited the PRWS project positively, resulting in cultural benefits, time savings and risk mitigation. 

TasWater's PRWS project involves constructing a 5.6 km pipeline from a pump station to various locations along Shark Point Road. Laura's expertise and eye for detail were particularly instrumental during excavation works when a number of First Nations artefacts were uncovered. Drawing on her previous experience with similar discoveries, she guided the project team and contractors in managing these findings in a culturally safe manner.

The PRWS project team benefited from Laura's insights, gaining valuable knowledge about identifying artifacts with Indigenous heritage. A colleague shares how instrumental Laura's contribution to the project has been.

"Laura was instrumental in getting archaeologists involved and showed us a better approach. The entire team, including myself, learnt valuable lessons about how to protect and address requirements sensitively during site inspections, excavating, and stockpiling."

Part of the CPB Contractors team for the past four years, Laura has played a key role in the delivery of various TasWater scopes of work, including the Penna Recycled Water Scheme, Lake Fenton Pipeline Renewal, and Orford Sewage Pump Station Renewals as part of the TasWater Alliance.
