Section 3 – Pipeline Projects

3.1 Southern Rural Water – Southern Tinamba Modernisation Project Stage 2 Completion Date: 2018 Pipe Length: 7.8Km Pipe Diameter & Type: 1600/1500/600mm GRP & 375/450mm PVC Client: Southern Rural Water Client’s Representative: Andrew Fullard National Australian Pipelines constructed a 1600mm GRP irrigation pipeline on behalf of Southern Rural Water through the winter shutdown period between May and August 2018. The pipeline project was to effectively replace the existing open water channel system in the Tinamba District. The 7.8km of pipeline installed was along a greenfield alignment through 15 different private properties and road reserves. The scope of Work also included the installation of 16x Above ground customer outlets, a Transition Structure and the installation of associated valves and control equipment. Construction involved using up to 25 different pieces of plant ranging from varying sized Excavators, Front end loaders and rollers/compactors. The project was in accordance with a AS4000 contract during the winter shut down period where water is shut off from being delivered to farmers via the open water channel system. A workforce in excess of 60 personnel were engaged where 4x separate crews worked concurrently to deliver the project. The major tasks involved in this project were:

Provision of construction management plans for the pipeline including; Health and Safety Plan, Site Environmental Management Plan, Quality Plan.

Provision of Traffic Management Plans.

Site setup and survey of pipeline alignment.

Land Liaison with property owners

Section 8 – Summary 8.1 Cost Bringing projects in under budget from both National Australian Pipelines and the principals is one of our

key priorities. We focus specifically on the area of cost control.

8.2 Time Frames Completing projects in or ahead of schedule is one area we pay close attention to in the conduct of all our

projects. We have a companywide approach to review our work progress on a weekly and monthly basis

to ensure that projects proceed in accordance with scheduled time frames. The emphasis on meeting

time frames is instilled in all staff in National Australian Pipelines from Senior Management right through

to all members of each crew. Our ability to complete a time sensitive projects is outstanding and we have

proven time and again our ability to build pipelines in time sensitive or cost sensitive manner.

8.3 Project Delivery In delivering a water or gas pipeline projects we have an operational approach, which we have found to

be extremely effective. As a starting point, we always ensure that the following key issues are addressed:

We allocate appropriate staff and equipment to complete our projects.

The project management team has the necessary skills and knowledge to complete all elements

of the project (including special items such as river crossings, trenchless techniques, working near

powerlines, and building Pump Stations).

We maintain constant contact with the principal and other relevant stakeholders and work on

projects on a collaborative approach.

We maintain full documentary records of work completed on the project and maintain a robust

document trail from the work in the field through to all communication with principals and other

relevant stakeholders.

We actively work towards meeting and exceeding all milestones and targets whilst at the same

time ensuring the highest quality final product.



8.4 Stakeholder and Public Relations In the initial stages of the project, we identify all the stakeholders, contact them and draw input from

them on the project. Our preferred method is to bring all affected stakeholders together in a meeting at

project commencement. Before starting the construction work, we conduct a property inspection with

affected landowners, identify his needs and do a digital survey. At the end of the construction period, we

reinstate the affected landowner’s property exactly as they were prior to construction.

If we receive a verbal or written complaint from the general public, we key it into a data logger which is

held at project site offices and resolve the issue within 24 hours. We also inform the principal regarding

the complaint and the methods undertaken to resolve it.

8.5 Management philosophy Our management philosophy allows us to operate in a very efficient manner. Due to our flat

organisational structure decision making and communication is very quick. Issues within the field are

dealt with by the appropriate members of the project management team in a very direct manner.

Likewise, information flows from the Project management team to field staff, principals, and other

stakeholders in a considered and speedy manner.

The following highlights the strengths of our management philosophy:

Directors and Senior management are actively involved on a day to day basis with project

activities.

Decisions are made in a decisive manner and with the appropriate information and level of

expertise brought to the issue

Communication within the organisation and to third parties (including the principal, sub

contractors, stakeholders, members of the public) is very straight forward and fast

Our past experience with high profile and critical works have always benefited from our effective

management style (e.g. Longford gas duplication project during Victorian gas crisis in 1998/1999)



8.6 Occupational Health & Safety We have an outstanding record of Occupational Health and Safety (available upon request) and attribute

this to work done both in the field and by our project management teams to instil a safety ethic in all our

workers.

8.7 National Australian Pipelines, Policies

Our company wide philosophy towards quality assurance starts from the attitude and approach and the

pride in workmanship shown by our in field staff. We not only endeavour and achieve projects on time

and within budget we also ensure that the pipeline is operational at the highest level. We have

appropriate Project Management Plans (available upon request), Environmental Management Plans

(available upon request), and Industrial Relations Policy (available upon request), in place.
