Large Project Experience:
Case example: Deployed under urgency to resolve a critical issue:Southeys were subcontracted by Fletcher Construction to develop and implement a plan for the collection and disposal of HDD drilling fluids during pipe pulls on the crossings at Te Wharau Creek and Upper Harbour. The Upper Harbour pipe pull at circa 1200m long and with 3 pipelines and pipe pull durations of estimated at between 14 to 22 hours and 900m3 of drilling muds was the most problematical. The key issues faced were, the overall fluid volume, its flow rate, on site space and storage constraints (very limited storage), variable nature of the pipe pull, the need for continuous disposal and working in a, the sensitive environment. Southeys were able to establish the people and equipment resources and develop and operational, environmental and safety plan incorporating factors such as flow rates, loading rates truck volumes, turnaround time to disposal site, tipping time, 24x7 disposal availability, manning, logbook hours, back-ups, contingencies for variations in the main operations and environmental contingencies. Southeys delivered this service to plan & budget and without incident |
