    Hello, I’m also working on the water aspect of the challenge. I need some help finding information about a couple of things. Firstly, how much does transportation of materials cost to the island? Specifically, transporting steel (about 12 to 15 tonnes of steel) to Saibai island on a barge freight, how much would it cost? This is for building the desal tank on Saibai.
    Furthermore, is there a site that I can refer to for information on the labour cost of building the tank?

    Thanks
