HSE is intrinsic in our people, systems and processes. Our approach is to adopt and fully understand your companies HSE procedures as our base level and proliferate this expectation throughout the project. We lead by example, seek continuous improvement and raise the benchmark of the project HSE culture.

Project teams with the right expertise, perspectives and dedication is the most critical element for the success of any project. We integrate with your selected teams (internal employees or consultants) at every stage of the project, building positive problem-solving relationships to underpin a results-driven culture.

Too often, projects rush ahead without adequate time for strategic thought and assessment of alternative delivery models. We can assist you with your selection, based on your needs, level of risk, quality, budget, and timeline. Ideally, strategy selection has the optimum impact at the concept stage. There is no greater mitigation to prevent project failures, than firstly setting out a clear strategic pathway through the maze of project alternatives.

Any project can have a complicated regulatory approval process and selecting the best strategic option is essential. Our Director has extensive experience in delivering mining lease approvals, with two mining leases being approved in as little as 8 months from application. Getting this wrong can Check Mate your project, resulting in significant time delays and major cost blowouts. We have a team that can manage all aspects of mining approvals on your behalf, including: State approvals; Commonwealth approvals; community; overlapping tenure; landowners; Government departments; and regional councils.

These elements are inherently linked and must be managed together at every stage of the project. This is exponentially critical for multi-disciplinary projects. Our team will continuously analyse these facets and implement the necessary tools and processes to ensure that you are presented with clear recommendations on your alternatives. The project is your asset and we will enable you to make the key decisions in these critical areas. We will add value every day, ensuring all three elements are successfully delivered. Our Director has a successful track record, having delivered over $1 billion in critical infrastructure projects; we will exceed your expectations.

Executing the selected strategy requires attention to detail. Collectively contracts, work packages, specifications and performance tests must form a coherent framework to successfully mitigate risk and deliver superior outcomes. Every project stage from design, procurement, construction and commissioning must work together. It is imperative that adequate controls are implemented constantly in the design phase to prevent uncontrolled impacts to the construction schedule and costs.  We can develop all necessary documentation with your legal and technical teams to form a robust Project Execution Plan.

Projects can fail when clients do not administer the contracts by their requirements. Contracts must be actively managed as they contain the essential strategy and protection to mitigate major risks. We can act as a Company Representative, Superintendent or support your representative on any project, ensuring full compliance with all contractual processes.

We endorse active risk management processes as a basis for decision making. Formal risk reviews at every project stage must be coupled with continuous registers, or it will prove to be ineffective. Our team will navigate the timing and type of risk assessment at strategic stages throughout the project. An example of formal studies includes HAZOP, CHAZOP and constructability studies, which need to be undertaken at various stages of both design and construction.

Every project must have an efficient and effective level of reporting, steering committee governance and measurable performance value drivers (KPIs). We can provide: all the necessary frameworks to ensure complete project transparency; develop stakeholder management plans to get information to the right people in your organisation; establish reporting packages (progress and steering committee meetings) which are streamlined and conform with your internal governance requirements; and most importantly, provide information to key decision makers to harness collective knowledge when making key decisions.

The glue that holds the steps above together is the successful administration of the project. We do not believe in complicated proprietary software, which your teams can no longer utilise without SPS. We advocate simple tools and systems to train your integrated team members so that they can harness these tools within your organisation after the project. A key part of our value is our focus on the development of your own people.

Projects are only successful if they meet the long-term operational and maintenance requirements of your business. Integration starts from day one and we will ensure all expectations are met and exceeded throughout the project. We will manage the critical transition to operations by providing training, documentation, maintenance systems and operator familiarisations for your teams. With the integrated team approach, we advocate selecting high achievers in your organisation to participate as a vital contributor; this provides superior outcomes both during and after the project.

Our focus is to ensure every day we are on your project that we seek to add value and improve every element of the project. At the end of the project we will undertake a Lessons Learnt session with your team to ensure important lessons are captured for future projects. Our relationship with you is for the life of, your asset, not just the project. We will always be a phone call away to assist you at any time for the life of your valued asset.
