CIVIL PROJECT WORKS
Curtis Island Water and Sewerage Infrastructure Project
I was seconded to this project in August 2011 until October 2012. I was part of the GAWB team,
in conjunction with the Gladstone Regional Council and GHD, responsible for the construction of
water and sewage infrastructure (pipelines, reservoirs, pumping stations) from the mainland to
the LNG proponents on Curtis Island.
My roles on this project included:
 Manager of the Contingency Operations: Supervise contractors engaged to install,
operate and maintain the temporary water and sewage pipelines and pumping stations
delivering water and sewage services to the LNG proponents whilst construction of the
permanent works continue. Conduct site safety inspections, authorize claims for
payment;
 Procurement: Obtain quotes and coordinate the purchase and delivery of materials
required to complete the permanent works;
 Barging and Maritime Coordinator: Negotiate and oversee contracts for barging and
passenger transfer services, approve contract claims, carry out safety audits of vessels
and documentation,

4. Contract Administration and Project Management
In role with GAWB, I am responsible for project management and contract administration for
maintenance and upgrade works projects up to $5 million in value.
I have received an award For Outstanding Performance for Project Management and Contract
Administration Works carried out on the GAWB’s Fitzsimmons St 50ML reservoir repairs and the
Dam Safety Compliance Works projects.
I was responsible for both projects from the estimating project costs, obtaining quotations from
contractors and engineering consultants, preparing business cases for submission to the GAWB
board for approval, managing contractors on site and administering the contracts for the works.
Repairs to the Fitzsimmons 50ML Reservoir – Gladstone
This project was carried out to repair the main city raw water reservoir which was constructed by
using vertical post-tensioned macalloy bars. A number of these bars had failed and there was a
risk that further bars would fail with catastrophic results.
A consulting engineering firm (formally Izzat, now Vinsi Partners) was engaged to formulate
repair methodology and strategies, and act as Superintendents Representative. Once the
documentation was received, tenders were called and a contract was let for $2.2 million.
I was tasked to manage the contractors engaged to carry out the repairs and bring the project in
safely, on time and budget. This was successfully completed December 2009.
Since then I have been responsible for the repairs and waterproofing of the 16ML concrete
reservoir, as well as numerous other capital works projects for the Gladstone Area Water Board.
Awoonga Dam Safety Compliance Works – Gladstone
This project was to carry out maintenance and repair works to comply with regulatory
requirements.
The cost of the works was $5.5 million, and involved the repairs to the spillway apron and
gallery, clean out and/or re-drill all drainage holes, as well as the removal and refurbishment of
11 valves in the critical infrastructure of the water network. The valves range in size from
300mm, to 2000mm.
This difficulty with this project was the removal of existing valves and reinstatement of the
refurbished valves has to be carried out in a twelve hour isolation window due to the
requirement for pumping of water to Gladstone every night. This was able to be carried out
successfully with planning and the selection of a reputable and experienced contractor.

5. A number of contracting firms with specialized skills were engaged and I was installed as
Project Manager.

6. ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION WORKS
Ergon Energy and SEQEB (Energex)
Electricity Distribution Design and Construction
I have in excess of thirty (30) years experience in the design, construction and supervision of
electricity distribution projects, (with twenty two years of this time in design), from simple pole
mounted distribution substations, to indoor substations for shopping centres, larger rural
overhead extensions or feeder upgrades, urban underground subdivisions (URD works) and
complex system augmentation projects throughout the Ergon Energy areas of supply.
This includes the relocation of existing assets to allow construction of various projects such as
rail lines, shopping centres, mine sites and road re-alignments.
I have also carried out major design works for what was Ergon Energy's Contract Services
Group (now Distribution Line Design). This included the design and pricing for the reconstruction
and augmentation of the electricity distribution network on the Torres Strait Islands, and 66kV
overhead projects for the Central Queensland coal mines.
Work Skills
Route selection, survey, design, estimating and drafting of all types of electricity works, including
new urban residential subdivisions (URD), street lighting and system augmentation projects;
Negotiate with customers, landowners and statutory bodies to obtain approval to carry out
proposed works;
Carry out low voltage cable calculations for cable and conductor selection.
Estimating projects and preparing material orders;
Undertake the survey and pegging of proposed line routes using electronic distance measuring
theodolites and RTK GPS systems and optimize recorded data on the CATAN computer based
Overhead Line Design program to obtain the most cost effective design;
Update, maintain asset data, and create construction drawings and maps using AutoCAD and
Mapinfo GIS systems.
Specific Design Projects:
I have extensive experience in all areas of the electrical distribution industry, with a small
sample listed below;

7. Junction Shopping Centre, Noosa Heads. Undergrounding of overhead network
Increase in capacity of high voltage feeder cables, augmentation of overhead high voltage
system, design of indoor substation. Project estimation and monitoring of construction.
In the two years I was with SEQEB, I carried out designs for high and low voltage extensions,
subdivisions, augmentation and indoor substations.
Rebuild 22kV overhead feeder to Nebo.
This involved the survey of approximately 9kM of existing line from the zone substation to the
township of Nebo, and carry out the design for the replacement of the feeder conductor to a
larger size due to increased load.
The resulting design allowed for the construction to be carried out with the minimum of outages
to the township and its associated industries.
Undergrounding of existing High Voltage overhead lines - Blackwater to Lillyvale 275kV
transmission line.
Survey and peg new pole positions and High Voltage cable runs and terminations for under
crossings of existing High Voltage overhead line to allow the construction of the Blackwater to
Lillyvale 275kV supply line.
Survey and design new 66kV overhead line deviations around Blackwater zone substation.
Relocation of 66kV lines on mine sites.
Undertaking the design and survey for the extension and relocation of 66kV dragline supply
lines on various mines sites in Central Queensland.
Urban Residential Developments (URD)
I have carried out the design and drafting of URD projects for approximately twenty (20) years.
This work involves undertaking Voltage Drops to ensure all residential lots are supplied with the
statutory voltage, the economic placement of Pad Mounted distribution substations and pillars,
and planning for future stages of the developments while maintaining the aesthetical value of
the subdivision.
