Providing our Customers with a Competitive Edge


Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment for a Refinery Expansion

Customer: Egyptian Refining Company (ERC)Location: EgyptService: Environmental Social & Health Impact Assessment

To meet the lenders’ due diligence requirements for the Egyptian Refining Company Project in the Greater Cairo area, WorleyParsons was engaged to manage an international standard Environmental Assessment process.

The WorleyParsons’ team prepared an Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment (ESHIA) report to comply with International Lender expectations including those of the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA); International Finance Corporation (IFC) and World Bank; Equator Principles; European Investment Bank; and Korean EX-IM Bank. Our in-country WorleyParsons team conducted a number of baseline studies including Air, Noise, Water, Soils and Ecology. All the data were managed on a GIS, including the chemical datasets. Stakeholder engagement and consultation were carried out since the initial Project planning and were an integral part of the ESHIA process.

Consultation and engagement will continue throughout the construction and operational phases of the Project. ERC has developed a Public Consultation and Disclosure Plan, which clearly outlines the strategy for engagement in the future. ERC has won major backing from leading global institutions because it will have a notable effect on both Egypt’s economy and on the environment, particularly in the Greater Cairo Area.


“ As part of the lenders’ due diligence process to arrange financing for the $3.7B Egyptian Refining Company Project, the WorleyParsons Environmental Management Consulting Practice was engaged to manage an international standard Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment. Although the schedule was tight and the lenders and their advisors were demanding, the Environmental team was very responsive and timely in preparing reports which reflected the required international standards.”

SERVICES OFFERING

“ We are proud to have developed

strong and long-lasting partnerships

with our customers worldwide. We

provide exceptional service to our

customers in some of the world’s

most demanding and remote sites.

Our staff enjoy the challenge and

the opportunity to work towards

protecting the environment and

communities in these far-reaching

locations.”


Environmental Social & Health Impact Assessment (ESHIA), Permitting & Planning

Designed to meet environmental, social and health

assessment requirements of government regulators or

financial lenders and to minimise project risk. Our

methods provide a thorough understanding of

community needs and expectations, and strive to deliver

long-term benefits to the affected and benefitted

communities alike.

Environmental Management Systems (EMS) - Development, Implementation & Audit

This provides a structured process for integrating

environmental concerns within the customer’s overall

management system and importantly manages

environmental risk.

Community Development & Stakeholder Engagement

Successful project delivery requires an effective

stakeholder engagement program. Socioeconomic

assessment and community mapping form the basis of

the WorleyParsons’ practice. Effective engagement,

combined with community development enhances

reputation, increases certainty of process, reduces

conflict and improves community well–being.

Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Effective CSR strategy and reporting provides

businesses with a competitive advantage, protecting

and enhancing corporate reputation whilst reducing risk.

WorleyParsons’ CSR consulting services are effectively

and appropriately aligned to global standards and can be

combined with our sustainability reporting service.

Compliance Monitoring

Environmental and social

monitoring programs are an

important component of the

environmental and social

management plan (ESMP) of any

project. These programs require

careful capture of commitments

made during the government

approvals process to enable

implementation through to

operations. Our adaptive service

is tailored to the needs of each

project and can include

development and

implementation managed via an

integrated GIS database for

construction, operation or

decommissioning.

Sustainable Management Systems (SMS)

The SMS is an enhanced

practice of ISO 14001 EMS.

Unlike many management

systems, the WorleyParsons’

SMS approach applies a

structured suite of tools and

processes that identify and

assess the sustainability

opportunities within the

customer’s project design. The

SMS can be applied holistically

across the design, construction,

procurement and operational

teams to identify key project

performance criteria such as

tangible material and carbon

cost savings and community

benefits.


Impact Assessment for the New Quito Airport

Customer: Corporación Quiport, S.A.Aecon Group IncorporatedLocation: EcuadorService: Environmental Social & Health Impact Assessment

Plans to build a new airport in Quito, Ecuador have been underway for over 20 years. The Quito Airport at Mariscal Sucre was constructed in the 1950s and is the busiest in Ecuador, transporting up to two million passengers each year. The area around the airport is heavily urbanized, which presents serious safety issues and does not allow for runway expansion without considerable resettlement of people.

To address these issues, a new site for the Quito airport was identified and appropriately zoned for airport development. For the construction of the Quito International Airport, WorleyParsons prepared a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment to meet the requirements of four different international financial institutions. The study included a social baseline report, demographics analysis, social impact assessment, and social management plan as well as the full suite of environmental baseline studies including water, land, air, climate and ecology. Project approvals were awarded and construction at the new site began in 2006.

The new airport is expected to be completed at the end of 2011 and has a capacity to receive more than four million passengers per year.


“ Thanks for all your support in the long road to this closing. We could not have achieved this without WorleyParsons’ support and dedication to meeting timely schedules and producing work of the highest standards that withstood the critical eyes of some of the most important lenders in the world.”Bill Pearson, Executive Vice President of Aecon Group, Inc

“ Meaningful dialogue with our stakeholders

and customers helps us identify,

understand and manage health issues to

make informed decisions that contribute

to our customers’ business success.

Our health impact assessment service

is a systematic process through which

health issues can be addressed early in

development planning and give confidence

to customers and regulators alike that

health concerns have been alleviated.”

Dr Geetha Ramesh Principal Consultant, Calgary Office, Canada


Common Volatile Organic (VOC) Compounds’ ProjectCustomer: Qatar PetroleumLocation: Middle EastService: Air Emissions Reduction Study

WorleyParsons assisted Qatar Petroleum achieve its objective of becoming a “leader in sustainable development” through the FEED of a large facility to reduce emissions from tanker loading operations at the Ras Laffan industrial city. This project, unique for Qatar, will capture and destroy VOC which would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere.

Qatar has committed to preserve and protect the environment for the benefit of current and future generations. Increased regulation will reduce allowable emissions from activities such as venting and tanker loading operations. In response, Qatar Petroleum, in conjunction with Qatargas, is developing a multi-user VOC capture and destruction facility for the Ras Laffan port tanker loading berths.

On completion the Common VOC project will have the capacity to capture and destroy up to 98% of the captured VOC emissions, which would otherwise be vented to the atmosphere during liquid loading operations.

RECENT ENGAGEMENTS

“ Our local presence to many of the

world’s resource projects allows

us to provide our customer’s with

practical and intelligent solutions.

Our breadth of environmental

planning skills has allowed us to be

leaders in our field. ” René Tobar Principal Consultant, Santiago Office, Chile


Development of the Management Plan ofEaster IslandCustomer: Municipality of Easter IslandLocation: ChileService: Environmental Management Plans

Easter Island is a Polynesian island and World Heritage site, much of the island is protected by the Rapa Nui National Park. The island is famous for its monumental statues (Moai) created by the Rapa Nui people. WorleyParsons completed a comprehensive study of Easter Island, including identification of environmentally sensitive areas and potential environmental risks to the island’s tourism industry and unique heritage. Our recommendations for sustainability and resource management led to the development of an environmental guide, monitoring program on the Island Territorial Plan that established areas for housing, commerce, infrastructure, heritage sites and areas of possible expansion of housing.

The master plan for Easter Island was approved by the relevant government authorities. This plan addressed the needs of planning authorities and resolved over forty years of debate. This management tool has become a real contribution for the future and sustainability of the Rapa Nui culture.

“ Environmental issues are presenting

themselves as being more and more

relevant in the lives of contemporary

societies. It is this century’s task to

reach a balance between development

and preservation of the planet with a

reduction of social inequalities. It is up

to each one of us to do our part in our

scope of expertise.” Dr Eliane Guedes Principal Consultant, Sao Paulo Office, Brazil

Cutting Edge Marine Environmental Survey and AssessmentCustomer: ConfidentialLocation: ConfidentialService: Marine Baseline Studies

WorleyParsons’ environment group and GEMS Survey undertook a fascinating marine environmental survey and assessment in coastal waters. At the heart of the project was the assessment, mitigation and monitoring of underwater noise impacts on marine mammals as this area is home to one of the world’s largest congregations of humpback whales. The rare humpback dolphin, whose distribution and status is poorly understood, is also found there.

The impact of the offshore hydrocarbons industry on marine mammals is a growing area of concern; this project is at the cutting edge of research in the commercial arena. In addition to our consulting team we brought in expertise from two world-leading institutes in underwater acoustics and marine mammals: the Bioacoustics Research Programme of Cornell University, USA and the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU Ltd), Scotland.

The project included a year-long monitoring program including five dedicated offshore surveys. Acoustic modelling and sound source prediction, sediment sampling and seabed mapping was carried out by the WorleyParsons team.


“Our consultancy services add value by

integrating robust and smart engineering

with environmental and social values;

particularly if we’re involved at an early

stage of the project life cycle. As a result

we are able to deliver large-scale projects

which blend environmental and societal

issues into project design and operation.”Mohamed Hassan Principal Consultant, Cairo Office, Egypt

Southern SeaWater Alliance

Customer: Water CorporationLocation: Perth, Western AustraliaService: Sustainable Management Systems

As part of the Southern SeaWater Alliance (SSWA), WorleyParsons was commissioned to design, build and operate the Southern Seawater Desalination Plant (SSDP), providing Perth with an additional 50 GL per year potable water (expandable to 100 GL). Integral to the project delivery plan was the commitment the SSWA made to provide a desalination plant that actively incorporated sustainability within design, construction and on going operation.

The SSWA used the Water Corporations Core Sustainability values to develop a Sustainability Policy. The Policy was applied to the project through the use of a Sustainability Management System (SMS), allowing sustainability to be implemented and managed consistently throughout project delivery. The sustainability (SMS) approach has resulted in significant savings and benefits including reductions in capital and operational expenditure, water, waste, energy and carbon savings, as well as investment in local industry.
