IG Upstream Operated Assets

, Acrow The team was selected to assist and be a major resource for our most recent outages across the phase 1 assets – 4 yearly turnaround shut down events (TAR’s). These 17 consecutive events were planned and executed over a 17 month period and consisted of in the order of 360 work fronts day and night shift over 14-16 days intervals in a work team of up to 140 personnel. Uni-spans’ selection of crews and support materials was second to none throughout this period. A total of 567 assurance activities were conducted through the TAR events and not only were Uni-span subject to being audited on many of those, they also took the liberty of involving themselves as key players in the high level auditing of other workgroups within the team. This buy in from the work group made it a huge success for Origin and the execution lead (Steve Learmonth) and I, feel strongly that Uni-span made an invaluable contribution to this success.

Their workers on no less than 5 occasions out of the 17, were put forward to be voted most valuable person award. This shows the depth of teamwork and dedication by the high calibre work crews. Their individuals received numerous points of recognition in the team meetings and in particular were noted by other contractors in group forums for their contribution.

TAR Maintenance Activities

, Acrow Upstream PS have had a professional relationship with this team on general maintenance and 4 yearly Turnaround Campaign across all Origin Energy Surat Basin Assets over the past 3 ½ years. Throughout this duration your team have always produced high quality workmanship, on time and in a safe manner.

This letter is to acknowledge your TAR Scaffolding teams for their outstanding contribution in supporting the campaigns safe working environment, work schedule and improvement opportunities through a high level of supervision and experience work teams. This campaign’s success is relied heavily on this team’s flexibility to provide scaffolding for multiple work front across scheduled and emerging scopes of work. Without your team’s ability to keep up with ever changing requests from client operations and the TAR leadership and planning teams we would struggle to maintain our workload and deliver each milestone is a safe manner.

We look forward to working with you and your team on post TAR maintenance activities.
