Golder Associates has a contract with the government of Abu Dhabi to monitor the performance of solid waste management handling by contracted service providers. The total value of the contracts is several billion dollars. Golder was awarded the contract compliance responsibility based on extensive experience with supporting waste service providers in the United States.
This application was created for the Abu Dhabi office of Golder Associates. The heart of the application is a module to record field inspector reports and track them to resolution. The next section of this page is based on a sales brochure for this application.
