Recent Professional Experience
Harry Holland & Associates Pty Ltd
Independent Quality Verification and Certification Services for BMA & Anglo American - Currently
providing independent quality verification and RPEQ certification services to BMA and Anglo American
Mining for both the design & construction of the relocation of a major water supply pipeline within the
new Grosvenor Mine at Moranbah..
Independent Quality Verification and Certification Services for BMA & Anglo American
Providing independent quality verification and RPEQ certification services to BMA and Anglo American
Mining for both the design & construction of the relocation of three major water supply pipelines within
the Moranbah North Mining Lease area.
Due Diligence Studies – SunWater Major Pipeline Assets – Led a small team within Aurecon
Advisory Pty Ltd carrying out engineering and technical due diligence investigations and studies into
nominated major pipeline assets of SunWater. The studies were aimed at presenting a comprehensive
Due Diligence Report to Queensland Treasury in regards to those assets in readiness for potential
leasing to the market, should the Government resolve so to do.
Independent Design Review for BMA & Middlemount Coal. – Providing independent design review
for BMA & Middlemount Coal for the relocation of some 15 Km of water supply pipeline together with the
relocation of an associated pump station.
Project Management & Independent Quality Verification and Certification Services – Providing
Project Management Support Services as well as independent quality verification and RPEQ certification
2. services to BMA for both the design & construction of the replacement of 3.4 Km of one of their major
water supply pipelines.
Pipeline Route Reconnaissance & Route selection – QGC – Carrying out a high level review of
proposed routing for three 145Km pressure pipelines associated with the LNG industry. This was
followed by actual on-site route reconnaissance & finalised route selection. The review and route
selection led to a 20 kilometre reduction in total route length and the selection of more favourable & cost
effective construction conditions, which together resulted in significant capital and ongoing operational
cost reductions.
Independent Quality Verification and Certification Services - Providing independent quality
verification and certification services to BMA and Anglo American Mining for the construction of major
water main pipeline relocations and replacement together with the construction of a land-bridge over
one of the main replacements.
Curtis Island Water and Sewerage Services – Responsible for carrying out a concept, route
reconnaissance, route selection and constructability study for the provision of water supply and
sewerage service connections from Gladstone to new LNG processing facilities proposed to be
developed on Curtis Island. The recommended project solution included carrying out 2,200 metre HDD
drives beneath the harbour from the mainland to Curtis Island. The project was successfully constructed
and commissioned and is now providing WS & S services to Curtis Island.
In the interim, whilst permanent works were designed and procured, carried out the design & detailing of
temporary water supply & sewerage ‘hire-in’ pumping systems to provide interim services to LNG
facilities under construction on Curtis Island. Provided procurement services as well as installation and
commissioning support to get the temporary systems up and running.
Carried out a similar concept study for making a 132 kV mainland electricity supply available to Curtis
Island which was also subsequently implemented.
Proposed Moranbah To Alpha Pipeline. Appointed by Hancock Coal Pty Ltd in 2011 to carry out a
Peer Review of the design of the proposed 25,000 ML per annum 220 Km Moranbah to Alpha Pipeline
and pumping system. As an outcome of the reviews alternative pipeline routings and pumping system
configurations were developed and proposed that offered a saving of twenty per cent in capital costs
and eleven per cent in NPV terms as compared to the original design.
Victorian Desalination Project. Responsible for carrying out and leading a small team in 2010 for the
Thiess/Degremont Joint Venture ‘Proof Engineering’ and ‘Peer Reviewing’ the hydraulic design of the
transfer pumping system and approximately 100 Km pipeline required for The Victorian Desalination
Project. The reviews included the hydraulic design and optimisation of the pipeline & pumping system as
well as independent surge analysis of the system together with a review of proposed surge mitigation
measures. As an outcome of the reviews alternative system configurations and surge protection
measures were developed that delivered savings to the project capital cost in excess of $60 Million.
Western Corridor Recycled Water Project in Brisbane and South East Queensland – In 2006 Harry
carried out the preliminary engineering configuration, sizing and optimisation of the 200Km+ transfer
pumping system for the above project. Activities included:
– Preliminary route reconnaissance;
– Route selection;
– Concept design;
– Preliminary system design & optimisations; and
– Preliminary estimates for the whole transfer pumping system.
For Project delivery purposes the Western Corridor Recycled Water Project was divided into a number
of separate but interlinked Alliance work packages. One of those packages was the Eastern Pipeline
Alliance. Harry was the Engineering Manager for the Alliance from 2007 to 2010 and represented one
of the Alliance NOPs on the Alliance Management Team.

works; together with 76Kms of trans-urban pipeline, through and around the eastern suburbs of
Brisbane, and two major high-lift pump stations to transfer up to 112MLD of RO treated water as the
Stage 2 Alliance works. The total value of the delivered Alliance works was $550M
