However, he says group net revenue remained steady in 2013 despite these tough market trends. "Our greatest challenge in 2014 will be maintaining our focus on growing our backlog pipeline." says Krause "Revenues will continue to be under pressure from the wind-down of large projects, including recovery-related projects in Asia Pacific, the completion of the Panama Canal design, and the ending of AMP5 projects in the UK." Krause says the group's success in 2014 will be determined by its effective management of existing business and through success in winning new work." He says: "This will require solid management of our projects and programs, appropriate cost controls and listening carefully to our clients' needs, while delivering innovative, value-added solutions." Krause continues: "While this challenge is real, it is something this organisation has successfully addressed numerous times before. "We have seen a noticeable improvement in our total backlog driven largely by key AMP6 wins in the UK, and a growing backlog of construction work. The figures shown below relate to MWH Treatment.
