“Mortenson was selected to work with us on our TGN (TyCom Global Network) cable system throughout the world. They are covering all of the Pacific. They were chosen based on their expertise in design-build and also their expertise in telecommunications.  They bring in the manpower, they bring in the construction expertise, they brought in the designers, and then they did everything on schedule. And that’s exactly what we were looking for.”
