SHEQ moment


Innovation in SHEQ culture:

“Deck of SHEQ”

To promote a healthy SHEQ culture and reduce SHEQ risk, Parsons Brinckerhoff people open up all meetings with a SHEQ moment

Recognising that people sometimes struggle to find a meaningful SHEQ moment topic, Parsons Brinckerhoff ‘s SHEQ team recently invented the “Deck of SHEQ” cards

A “Deck of SHEQ” is found in all Parsons Brinckerhoff ‘s meeting rooms

Draw a card at random to provoke thought, interactivity and kick-start the meeting

Established in 1898, KEX:015760, NYSE:KEP

51% owned by the South Korean Government

76,000 MW of installed capacity, generates 92% of South Korea’s electricity

Coal fired power stations represent 32% of total South Korean installed capacity

42 overseas projects in 21 countries involving nuclear energy, hydro/thermal energy, transmission/distribution and resource development

Australian assets include 100% ownership of the Bylong coal project, 1% of Moolarben coal project, both in the Upper Hunter Valley, NSW

By 2020, KEPCO’s vision is to be a ‘global top 5 energy and engineering company’; expects to be 60% self sufficient in coal and uranium fuel

The primary purpose of KEPCO’s development of the Bylong project is to supplement externally supplied coal imports to South Korea

Innovation culture drove the outcome

KEPCO’s culture for 2020 vision to be global top 5 energy company drove project innovation plan

Government ownership ensures high level scrutiny of value for money

Practical, operable solutions actively sought to reduce cost and improve value

Implementation process

Options study completed & value engineering workshops held (Nov 2013)

Multiple CHPP trade off studies identified, including merging of two separate overland conveyors

Two way conveyor trade off study undertaken

Methodology of research, preliminary design, calculations, capex, opex, NPV and semi quantitative

comparison

Trade off study report prepared by Parsons Brinckerhoff

reviewed and endorsed by Cockatoo Coal

approved by KEPCO

FS basis of design revised

FS design undertaken, capex and opex prepared, SiD undertaken, trade off study results

validated

Innovation drivers and process


Two way conveyor – flow sheet


Two way conveyor – site plan


Two way conveyor – P&ID


Two way conveyor – open cut ROM end


Two way conveyor – CHPP end


Value management process

Formal workshops at the right time, well documented trade off studies validate decisions

Benefits of a two way conveyor solution for Bylong coal project

Reduced capex

Improved access

Reduced rotating components

Reduction in total demand power (return side friction)

Reduced opex

Return belt turnovers are required, but reduce spillage on route

Keeps open cut ROM system available for future use

Other considerations

Linking two separate systems together can impact overall plant availability

Less use of standard structures and more complex transfers

Suits particular sites and requirements
