KBR:
Over
the past decade, KBR has been involved with the delivery of over AU$6
billion of
water infrastructure in Australia. In
Tasmania, Australia, KBR has been supporting the
water and
sewage
utility,
TasWater, to deliver on its commitment to remove all public
health alerts by the end of August 2018.
KBR has been a strategic partner acting in the role of owners
representative by managing, overseeing and supporting TasWater in the
implementation of its '24glasses' Regional Towns Water Supply Program.
KBR has assisted TasWater to deliver safe drinking
water to 17 Tasmanian townships as part of the overall program. The
successful delivery of its commitment means these TasWater's customers
can now enjoy a glass of water that is safe to drink, straight from the
tap.
Wayne Nolan, KBR Vice President, Infrastructure Services is proud of the
work KBR and TasWater have done over the last 12 months. "This project
has truly been a team effort from all involved and one that will have a
significant impact on the Tasmanian community. These are the type of
projects KBR want to be involved in and of course delivering. We are
committed to building long-term relationships in Tasmania, and look
forward to continuing to deliver on future projects."
Co-located in
,
the KBR project team became fully integrated into TasWater and focused
on managing individual work packages to deliver the overall program and
maximise benefits delivered to the communities. KBR provided
coordination of design and construction schedules and commercial
expertise in contract management, supplier management, procurement and
engineering reviews. This integrated team was able to leverage the
skills of both TasWater and KBR to improve program management and
delivery for the Tasmanian communities.
Rob McKaige, KBR Program Director, Infrastructure Services, who has been
overseeing and supporting the project said, "The team has worked
incredibly hard to achieve this goal. This initiative ensures that these
TasWater regional customers and consumers will now have access to water
that meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, like customers in the
other locations in Australia enjoy. Having good quality infrastructure
in local communities is essential and we believe this program will have
on going positive impacts on Tasmanian water customers."
At KBR, collaboration is at the heart of everything we do and we work
with our clients to provide a flexible yet disciplined approach to
delivering vital water infrastructure projects that make a lasting
contribution to the community.
