After extensive pre-planning and a fast mobilisation, we constructed the Agnew Gas Pipeline Project for APA Group in the south-southwest of Western Australia. The new pipeline supplies gas to the Agnew gold mine site to supplement the mine’s renewables-fuelled power supply.
Our scope consisted of the construction of a 25 km long, DN150 mm, dual layer FBE coated, AS2885 compliant, high pressure natural gas pipeline, along with the tie-ins to the swan necks at the above ground Kyarra Offtake Station and the Agnew Delivery Station.
Working as an integrated team with APA Group from the outset of the project was the key to success. Collaborative project management strategies enabled the team to develop innovative construction solutions to successfully overcome logistical, stakeholder, environmental, and resource constraints.
Beginning with comprehensive and collaborative pre-planning to de-risk the project before construction commenced; every facet of the project was subjected to strategic safety thinking, strong safety leadership and uncompromising safety management.
A very fast mobilisation and commencement meant that we had to draw upon our unrivalled experience in remote cross-country pipeline construction to achieve delivery safely and efficiently.
The project achieved a weld repair rate of 0.86% and successfully used the Computerised Radiography Technique, which was developed on the Northern Gas Pipeline project.
Planned construction production rates were achieved or exceeded through detailed planning and management of risks including the very hard ground conditions and rocky areas.
We selected mini HDDs for the two sealed road crossings and the Mine Road crossing, avoiding disruptions for the local community, as well as avoiding future maintenance issues.
