Section 8 – Summary

8.1 Cost

Bringing projects in under budget from both National Australian Pipelines and the principals is one of

our key priorities. We focus specifically on the area of cost control.

8.2 Time Frames

Completing projects in or ahead of schedule is one area we pay close attention to in the conduct of

all our projects. We have a companywide approach to review our work progress on a weekly and

monthly basis to ensure that projects proceed in accordance with scheduled time frames. The

emphasis on meeting time frames is instilled in all staff in National Australian Pipelines from Senior

Management right through to all members of each crew. Our ability to complete a time sensitive

projects is outstanding and we have proven time and again our ability to build pipelines in time

sensitive or cost sensitive manner.

8.3 Project Delivery

In delivering a water or gas pipeline projects we have an operational approach, which we have found

to be extremely effective. As a starting point, we always ensure that the following key issues are

addressed:

� We allocate appropriate staff and equipment to complete our projects.

� The project management team have the necessary skills and knowledge to complete all

elements of the project (including special items such as river crossings, trenchless

techniques, working near powerlines, and building Pump Stations).

� We maintain constant contact with the principal and other relevant stakeholders and work

on projects on a collaborative approach.

� We maintain full documentary records of work completed on the project and maintain a

robust document trail from the work in the field through to all communication with

principals and other relevant stakeholders.



� We actively work towards meeting and exceeding all milestones and targets whilst at the

same time ensuring the highest quality final product.

8.4 Stakeholder and Public Relations

In the initial stages of the project, we identify all the stakeholders, contact them and draw input from

them on the project. Our preferred method is to bring all affected stakeholders together in a meeting

at project commencement. Before starting the construction work, we conduct a property inspection

with affected landowners, identify his needs and do a digital survey. At the end of the construction

period, we reinstate the affected landowner’s property exactly as they were prior to construction.

If we receive a verbal or written complaint from the general public, we key it into a data logger which

is held at project site offices and resolve the issue within 24 hours. We also inform the principal

regarding the complaint and the methods undertaken to resolve it.

8.5 Management philosophy

Our management philosophy allows us to operate in a very efficient manner. Due to our flat

organisational structure decision making and communication is very quick. Issues within the field are

dealt with by the appropriate members of the project management team in a very direct manner.

Likewise, information flows from the Project management team to field staff, principals, and other

stakeholders in a considered and speedy manner.



The following highlights the strengths of our management philosophy:

� Directors and Senior management are actively involved on a day to day basis with project

activities.

� Decisions are made in a decisive manner and with the appropriate information and level of

expertise brought to the issue

� Communication within the organisation and to third parties (including the principal, sub

contractors, stakeholders, members of the public) is very straight forward and fast

� Our past experience with high profile and critical works have always benefited from our

effective management style (e.g. Longford gas duplication project during Victorian gas crisis

in 1998/1999)

8.6 Occupational Health & Safety

We have an outstanding record of Occupational Health and Safety (available upon request) and

attribute this to work done both in the field and by our project management teams to instil a safety

ethic in all our workers.

8.7 National Australian Pipelines, Policies

Our company wide philosophy towards quality assurance starts from the attitude and approach and

the pride in workmanship shown by our in field staff. We not only endeavour and achieve projects

on time and within budget we also ensure that the pipeline is operational at the highest level. We

have appropriate Project Management Plans (available upon request), Environmental Management
