2ENGINEERING MANAGEMENTLiterature Review1. IntroductionThe onshore pipeline industry of Australia plays a vital role for meeting the need ofthe people of Australia by providing energy, efficiency and robustness in environmentinfrastructure system. In Australian economy the pipeline and gas plays a very important rolefor the construction of new onshore pipelines, that has the expansion of existing pipelinesystem and hence the development of gad infrastructure (Antilleet al. 2014). The AustralianPipeline & Gas Association (APGA) has identifies that all the Companies as a part of theassociation should be able to actively pursue strategies ensuring the excellence in safety,security and health outcomes in every aspect of the business activities. Since the industrydetermines the expectation of the people associated, regulators and wider community, itminimizes the incidents that affect the workforce of the environment (Maslen2014). The standard of Pipeline-Gas and Liquid petroleum has been prepared by the members ofJoint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee ME-038, Petroleum Pipeline.The members together decided to develop this standard. These standards are general andunifying standards that cover the high pressure petroleum pipeline. The series comprisesstandards from Part 0 to Part 5; general requirements, design and construction, welding,operation and maintenance, offshore submarine pipeline systems, Field pressure testingrespectively. These plays secondary and indirect role top the system whereas there areprimary and direct roles that achieve the purpose of ME-038 Committee. The Pipeline development and construction in Australia operates the Bass Straitoffshore oil and gas field since 1969. This associates production and facilities of processing.Esso Australia Resources Pty Ltd has several numbers of pipelines that transports crude oil,condensate and LPG (Triggeret al. 2014). There is a replacement going on, in the 187
3ENGINEERING MANAGEMENTkilometer pipeline transporting the crude oil and condensate between the facilities. Theexisting pipeline of Esso has been replaced by the adjacent new pipelines. The Esso consultedwith some individual landlords and hence conveys the necessity the access of the land andproperties in advance such that there are any other activities undertaken on the property(Towleret al. 2016). In every stage of the project of pipeline construction the Essocommunicates the landowners and occupiers such that to provide information and understandthe concerns of the project work. The interference gets minimized by the activitiesundertaken by occupiers and landowners. The pre-construction survey includes cultural andenvironmental heritages, which have been carried out prior the construction of the finalproject. The affected owners of the land and occupiers are consulted for the nature, locationand timing of the next survey. The preparation of the construction includes some of the temporary disruptions, cautiousplanning and consultation that help in ensuring the disturbance that should be minimized tothe land owners. There are several stages consulting with this activity like pot-holing forproving the service location of existing pipeline, clearing alongside some public roads toprovides temporary access to the pipeline easement and construction of temporary fencingand temporary gates. The facility has temporary space of work adjacent to easement bynegotiating with the landowners those who are relevant. There are processes that the construction of pipeline follows: Clear and grade;Stringing and bending; Welding; Trenching; lowering in; backfill and soil replacement andrehabilitation (Maslen2015). The construction areas which are temporary for the pipeline canbe identifies clearly. The clearing is limited to the safe completion of the project constructionand some of the obstruction can be removed by consulting the landowners. Landowners haveconsulted with some of the aspects like dust, noise and timing and even bio-security. Thepipes are then delivered and are laid in the ground making ready for the wielding. Bending
