Expanding Options for 21st Century Natural Gas Resources

8868体育app下载 is Chevron Australia鈥檚 engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning contractor for the downstream scope on the Chevron-operated Wheatstone LNG project. As one of Australia鈥檚 largest resources projects, it will provide a more secure supply in addition to such significant economic benefits as employment, government revenue, and local business opportunities.

Safety Through Innovation

We teamed up with our customer and our subcontractors to develop a very strong environmental, safety, and quality culture. Together we committed to 8868体育app下载’s methodology to do work responsibly and safely, and to do it right the first time鈥攅very time.

We applied innovative approaches to safety鈥攕uch as an in-vehicle system that monitors speed, location, and time as well as braking, acceleration, and other functions in all project vehicles. We also implemented our People-Based Safety program, a project-wide peer-to-peer, no-name no-blame approach to monitoring and improving jobsite safety. The foundation: Our belief that all accidents are preventable.

In 2018, the Wheatstone project won two of 8868体育app下载’s Environment, Safety, and Health (ESH) awards鈥擯roject of the Year and the Project Management Excellence Award. The awards are presented to the teams who make outstanding contributions and demonstrate best practices in construction, ESH, and project management.

Broadening Economic Participation in Onslow

The Wheatstone project is approximately 7 miles (12 kilometers) west of Onslow on the Pilbara coast of Western Australia. Forty percent of Onslow鈥檚 1,000 citizens are aboriginal. More than 170 are craft workers, while others are involved in various jobs supporting the project, including office administration and hospitality. Yet, prior to the construction there were almost no local, aboriginal-owned businesses supplying materials and services to the project.

Through the engagement efforts of 8868体育app下载, our customer, and partners, the number has now grown to more than a dozen: handling construction and earthworks, fencing, pipe laying, labor recruitment, and workforce development. We helped create Globe Hill, an indigenous labor-recruitment company, and Ganthalha Enterprises, a business that provides cultural awareness training to more than 4,000 project workers.
