The Spill Meeting for 12

December is CANCELLED. It is no longer required due to results from the AGM on 28 November 2012. (ASX Release 28 November).

Timelapse of the Facility development to be available on the website soon.

Newsletter not available from 20 December 2012. It will resume on 10 January 2013.

Construction has increased at Red Gully as

civil works near completion enabling important

works to progress.

Further development of the Export

Compressor area has been undertaken with

the assembly of the acoustic enclosure

framework and connecting pipework to the

main piperack.

Major civil works including the concrete

supports for the condensate tanks and

produced water tanks have been poured. Over

two thirds of the concrete has now been

installed at the Facility.

As concrete footings are completed, various

mechanical packages and equipment are

being positioned into place allowing the

installation of further piping to occur.

The electrical workforce has now been

mobilised to the site and have begun putting in

cable trays along the piperack.

The pressure vessels (shown in Empire ‘blue’

in below and the right photos), manufactured

in Henderson, are now on site awaiting

installation.

The Export Pipeline pressure testing has been

successfully completed. The pipeline is now

being cleaned out and dried by passing ‘pigs’

along its entire 3.2km length.

Since last week the installation of the concrete

supports for the Condensate Tanks were poured.

They sit on top of a reinforced foundation (top right

and middle right). The electrical workforce has

begun to install cable trays along the piperack

(below right). Equipment continues to arrive

regularly on site including the pressure vessels in

Empire ‘blue’ (below).

CONTINUES
