OUR PORTFOLIO
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
At Partum, we prioritise building strong client relationships, which drive successful project outcomes.
GenusPlus Group
I just would like to say “THANK YOU” for the great and safe work that our teams have done collaboratively, first in preparation for the major shutdown, and then last 12 days during the major shutdown for Dampier Resilience Project with construction and energisation of the new 220kV power line between YMPS and Dampier. This transmission system shutdown was the largest and the most complex shutdown in Utilities Division history and your work and contributions are well appreciated.
Rio Tinto
Great work and we’re happy with how Partum has delivered this project.
BHP
Big thanks to Jordan and the Partum team for getting the design settings and report complete.
Fortescue
I would like to personally thank you for your contribution to our success in energisation of the 20kV Switchboard at Lucky Bay. I am grateful for all your help and support, and I look forward to continuing our work together for the many projects and safe energisations to come.
