Construction Phase Plan 3
Construction Contracting
The delivery of the works is to be undertaken by contracting various parts of the
facilities.
Three different contracts are proposed:
The gas processing facility per an Engineer Procure Construct contract
The HV power supply per a Construct-only contract
The HP gas pipeline per a Construct-only contract
The gas processing facilities will be designed and installed by CB&I. This includes
all facilities to operate, control and maintain the equipment. The facilities will be
enclosed within a security fence. The site preparation: access ways and utility
connections will be also be constructed under this contract, but designed by
WorleyParsons.
The high voltage power supply to the plant will be designed by WorleyParsons to
meet AusGrid rules and practices. The design will be certified by AusGrid. The
connection to the power supply and installation of HV facilities will be constructed
by a qualified contractor (approved by AusGrid) yet to be awarded.
The gas pipeline between Tomago and Hexham will be designed by
WorleyParsons and vetted by Jemena. The pipeline will be constructed by a
qualified contractor (approved by Hunter Water Corporation) yet to be awarded.
3. Construction Staging
The following sections describe the general staging of construction activities.
These stages are not necessarily consecutive and there will be overlaps in many
stages. The intention is to give an overview of the order in which works will be
commenced.
Appendix A contains a Construction Staging Matrix which relates the
requirements of the projects planning consent conditions to the various stages.
3.1. Stage 1 Site Preparation
Planned timeframe: July 2012 to January 2013
This first stage is to prepare the site and access ways so that construction works
can commence within the Site.
The site preparation and civil works include:
Clearing and removing vegetation from the gas access track.
Constructing the gas access track.
Clearing and removing vegetation from the main site area and main access
road
Levelling, grading, compaction and preparing the site ready for starting
construction of the facilities.
Constructing the main access road.
Additional geotechnical and seismic tests will be undertaken to confirm
ground conditions for the design of major equipment foundations.
Constructing surface water management infrastructure including:
Grading and sloping of construction areas to the south-west of the site.
Prepare the holding pond will be the primary separation area for surface
run off.
Ponds will cater for sediment control as well as disposal of surface water.
At the start of construction, the secondary access road may be the first prepared
in order to allow access to the site for generating the fill for the primary access
road. There is no available sewer in the Tomago area, therefore sewage, waste
(contaminated) water, and trade waste will be trucked off-site during the
construction phase of the project.CBI will manage this scope of work
