Topic:
Water Transportation Challenges, A Case Study: Geraldton Northampton Water Supply
PPS Partnership is a Managing Contractor arrangement between the Water Corporation, Transfield Services and Sinclair Knight Merz. It was formed in August 2006 to deliver water and wastewater pipelines and pump stations for the Water Corporation throughout WA.
As managing contractor, PPS is responsible for all design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover of the civil, mechanical and electrical works as well as obtaining project approvals and engaging with stakeholders and local communities.
The focus of this presentation will be the successful delivery of the Geraldton to Northampton Water Supply project which was officially opened on February 21 2008 by the Minster for Water resources (Hon John Kobelke MLA).
In the preceding five years the Northampton community had been particularly hard hit with below average winter rainfall; this prompted the decision to accelerate the building of the new water supply. A fast-track approach was adopted resulting in an increased number of challenges across all aspects of the project from design through to construction and commissioning.
The presentation will encourage debate and discussion across a wide range of topics including planning (and the importance thereof) design, approvals, procurement and stakeholder management.
The presenter is the Project Manager and will provide a focus on the importance that professional project management had on the outcome.
