ATIVO awarded pipeline maintenance contract
Saturday, November 29, 2008
ATIVO are pleased to announce that they have recently been awarded the operations and maintenance contract of both the 350km transmission pipeline and the Esperence Distribution Network.
The 350km Kambalda to Esperence Gas Transmission Pipeline was constructed in 2003 to feed the Esperence Power Station with Natural Gas from the Goldfields gas pipeline. The pipeline also feeds into a distribution network to service residential and commercial needs within Esperence.
The works involved include:
Transmission:
- Pipeline Patrols (Aerial and land)
- Piping Instrumentation Gauge (Pigging)
- Planned and Emergency Hot taps o Emergency Management
- Maintenance of Remote Terminal Units
Distribution:
- Customer Meter House Connections / Disconnections
- Meter reading
- Emergency Management
While this is ATIVO’s first gas transmission and distribution maintenance contract, over the past 12 months we have strategically built a strong team of highly experienced Energy personnel. Additionally, we have a superior PMBOK based delivery methodology and an employee accreditation program which encompasses federally recognised certification. These investments have demonstrated to the client we provide a safer, more reliable, vertically integrated solution.
The contract commenced two weeks after being awarded the contract, and we have since mobilised our National Specialist Engineering Support Team to set up the operations and maintenance procedures in accordance with industry regulations and standards. Ongoing service will be provided by a specialist team operating out of existing regional workshops. The contract term is 3 to 5 years.
