The Sydney Desalination Plant was hit by cyclonic conditions in December 2015, causing large-scale damage to the facility. The 132 Switchyard was totally destroyed, the roof of the RO building was completely blown away and other defects occurred as a result of the storm. There were over 25,000 defect items that required to be closed out and managed in readiness for re-commissioning. Responsibilities:  Writing and executing the Pre-commissioning Management Plan and the QA systems for pre-commissioning  Safe, timely and cost-effective building and pre-commissioning of electrical and instrumentation equipment  Managing $4M worth of electrical contracts varying from HV to LV to instrumentation.  Development of QA/Pre-commissioning software to track and manage electrical and mechanical quality documents and check sheets.

This project consists of three main sections: Greenhouses and utilities, energy plant, and balance of plant (interface between the greenhouses and energy plant). The energy plant consisted of a heliostat field of 24.000+ individually controlled mirrors and a 115m-high solar tower which contains the flux receiver from the heliostat field. This tower produces steam, which is converted through a condenser to hot water. The hot water is stored in a thermal energy storage tank (22ML) and is used for both heating the greenhouse as well as an energy source to produce fresh water from sea water. Responsibilities:  Safe, timely and cost-effective commissioning of the Sundrop Farms renewable energy project  Ensure compliance with the SA work safe requirements for testing of the solar boiler  Manage Dutch and Danish subcontractor's commissioning activities.  Assist subcontractors with their development of QA documentation in line with contract expectations.  Self-perform commissioning activities on the balance of plant.
