Vertech Group have completed another two projects in the last couple of months involving our Specialist V-FLARE Package.
Our teams deployed to both the Downstream LNG sector and Upstream Offshore Production market, completing each scope on time with a perfect safety record.
Flare tip inspection, replacement, remediation or repair is usually completed during shutdown, turnaround or outage periods, making them a critical path to the asset starting back up, so getting it right the first time every time is non-negotiable.
Over the last five years, Vertech has completed every major flare tip inspection, replacement and repair in Western Australia and the Northern Territory, drawing upon a host of skills, including Specialist Access, Rope Access, NDT, UAV / Drones, Multi-Disciplined Rigging, Electrical & Mechanical trades, External Engineering and fabricators for building our pre-mobilisation mock-ups and trials.
Along this journey, we’ve had many lessons learned which we wanted to share as we’ve no doubt some of these are transferable to your projects, such as:
- Early engagement in project planning is crucial.
- Collaboration between all stakeholders is a must.
- The better the project planning phase, the better your implementation productivity.
- Engaging your frontline team in delivering the project in the planning phase achieves unprecedented commitment to safety excellence and success in delivery.
- Each flare has challenges; no flare or associated structure is the same.
- Frontline leadership is the difference between a good project and a great project.
- Even if you have the best brand-new kit, always have contingencies available.
- A good project close-out needs the full suite of stakeholders to realise the value of your lessons learned going forward.
We want to thank our site leaders, project teams and all stakeholders we’ve worked with for their input, support and efforts for not just these recent Specialist V-FLARE Package projects but all those that proceeded them as your feedback and input is what built this package and service to the level it’s at.
