The company has focused on several
areas to drive quality and management
systems improvements during 2012/13:
1. Project Management Plan
Development ­ centralised tendering
support to the business to provide
appropriate responses at tender stage
or at award for operations providing
rapid embedment of project systems
on new projects.
2. Project start-up training ­ smoother
start-up execution and higher
compliance levels are evidence of the
effectiveness of this initiative.
3. Project Management Systems
refinement ­ working to improve our
systems and embracing smarter
technology.

4. Lessons Learned Workshops at various
stages of project life cycle. Facilitating
these workshops has provided a
greater understanding of areas to focus
on for continuous improvement of our
processes and management systems.
Looking forward, the centralisation of the
HSEQ functions into one team provides
the opportunity to better align the quality
expectations and initiatives across the
organisation. We remain focused on
continuous improvement in all aspects
of business and project delivery for
the benefit of our clients, partners and
employees.
Audits and Accreditation
The company's management system
was audited by Lloyds Register Quality
Assurance and ISO accreditation
maintained. The results were pleasing
with the audit encompassing a large
sample of our projects, fabrication yards
and offices.
Internally, we audited all our projects
and regions using our risk based
approach. Feedback from these audits is
an important input into our Lessons Learnt
database and continuous improvement
activities.
Initiatives in the coming year will
include a continued focus on audit
improvement, including looking at a range
of new audit tools to examine high risks,
and consideration of a scoring system
for audits to drive improved quantitative
analysis.
