Cannington Aerodrome Upgrade

Role : Electrical Superintendant/Project Manager
Duration: November 2008 - April 2009
Description:

BHP Cannington required a Compliance upgrade to the sites existing Aerodrome. This upgrade was crutial to managing onsite personell levels in order to maintain mine operation.

During this time, EIPCM was contracted as the project management component of the project, managing Leighton electrical labour and subcontracted civil works.

Compliance was required not only to the Australian Electrical Standards for electrcial installations but also to the Australian Aerodrome standards MOS 139.

Major hurdles during this project were flooding of the site and the single access road to site which required managing labour to ensure a continuous work progress regardless of materials being available.

 

No lost time injuries were sustained during this project.

Minara Resources H2S Plant Shutdown/Refurb

Role : Electrical Project Manager
Duration: 3 Weeks
Description:

As part of the refining process on this site, they require H2S(hydrogen Sulphide). During their Major Shutdown in 2007, Minara planned for the H2S plant to be Overhauled and Brought back to operational Readiness.

The area around and within the H2S plant is classed as a hazardous area meaning that it had a highly explosive/flammable atmosphere.

The project involved isolation and removal of plant Electrical and Instrumentation equipment within the Hazardous area to enable removal of condenser stacks, to be replaced with newly fabricated stacks.

While there were no major problems during the removal of equipment, there were concerns for items needing to be replaced due to nonconformity to hazardous area classifications.

During the reinstallation process, nonconforming items were replaced with certified parts without extending the completion date.

The H2S project was completed with no lost time injuries.
