The Braemar 2 Pigging Project required the construction of a new launch facility at the Windibri Gas Hub and construction of a new receival facility at the B2 Gas Hub on the Braemar 2 Power Station. Joe Wagner Group was engaged by EIM for the civil works at both sites. We partnered with EIM and Arrow Energy from the early stages of this project to develop budget pricing, optimise design, and thorough safety reviews that resulted in improved work methodologies.
Works included:
- Extensive vacuum excavation
- Bored piles, including piling immediately adjacent to live gas lines under safe working conditions
- Reinforced concrete structures including foundations, slabs and bunds
- Earth bonds
- Pavements and access roads
- Fencing
- Survey
- RPEQ signoff
As works were required at both Braemar 2 (Arrow Energy) and Windibri (QGC) sites this required significant coordination with regards to access permits; inductions and safety systems; environmental management; and working in remote locations.
Working in live gas facilities required rigorous safe working systems, and works were programmed to meet tight gas line shutdown requirements.
