RENOVATION OF THE OIL STORAGE
Introduction
Western Australia is one of the largest oil manufacturing and distribution company in
Australia. It has been seen that the storage capacity is lacking for 30% of unleaded petrol. This is
happening as the condition of the oil storage tanks are degrading with the time (Sara et al.,2017).
The main aim of the company is to improve the infrastructure of the storage capacity of the
company. In order to so this proper project management plan and the evaluation of the project
management plan is needed to be implemented as the organization is operating for 50 years and
the whole processing system is complex with the outdated design.
Discussion
Implementation plan
The man objective is to renovate the existing oil storage system in the Western Australia.
In order to do this the health and the safety along with the personal issues are needed to be
concerned during the development and the implementation of the project. Apart from that the
supply and the distribution of the oil should be not be irrupted during the implementation of the
project. The implementation plan needs the gathering of the requirement and the planning for
the implementation of the execution. The requirements for this project are cleaning and repaint
of the outside wall of the tank 1, tank 2. For tank 3celnaing and repaint is required along with the
replacement of the main supply valve. There are certain challenges involved with this project
(Bunea et al.,2016). These challenges are needed to be addressed while the planning of the
project. The shape of the site is triangle. In each of the two sides of the triangle sites is occupied

and one side has dead end road. While filling the tanks with the oil all the works are needed to be
stopped as the oil is high flammable.
Management plan
The management of the project is needed to be done in a certain way the shape of the site
will not permit any activity during the filling of the oil tank (Ramírez-Villegas, Eriksson &
Olofsson, 2016). According to the requirement the cleaning and repaint is needed to be done for
the tank 1 and tank 2. For tank 3 the repaint and the cleaning are needed to be done along with
the replacement of the main supply valve. The management plan is needed to be considered in
three aspects-
Time: The main challenge included in this project is the time. The repaint and the
cleaning of the tank is needed to be done without the interruption in the supply of the oil. It has
been seen that three thanks take different hours to fill up. The repaint of the tank 1 can be done in
1 day as it takes only 4 to 6 hours to be filled and that day tank 2 and tank 3 can be kept active.
In day 2 tank 2 can be cleaned and repaint in and that day tank 3 and tank 1 can be kept active.
The painting and the replacement of the main supply valve of the tank 3 I will take time. The
renovation of the tank 3 can take time up to 7 days. In those 7 days tank 1 and tank 2 can be kept
active. In this way the time management can be done for the compilation of the project along
with continuous supply of the oil.
Cost: The compilation of the project is needed to be done in a cost effective way. A
certain amount of the budget is estimated for the compilation of the whole project (Shabatura et
al.,2016). The estimated cost includes the cost of the paint and the charge for clearing three
thanks (Wang et al.,2018). Apart from that the cost of the equipments needed for the cleaning of

the tanks and the other tools like large crane , small crane and scaffolding are also included in
the estimated cost.
Resource: The resources needed to complete the project are human resources , time and
the cost along with the technical resources. The labor and the technicians are the human
resources who are responsible for the cleaning, repaint and changing of the main supply valve of
the tank. Time and cost are the other resources needed to deliver the outcome of the project.
Quality: The quality while repairing the tank is needed to be maintained in proper way.
The condition of the tanks are of poor quality as these tanks are used by the company for long
time. Currently the organization is paying large amount of money for the leakage of the oil
(Bunea et al.,2016). In this case, the quality of the repair will serve the organization positively by
mitigation of the overhead cost. In order to repair the tank the quality of the paint and the
equipments for used in the new valve for the main supply will be maintained.
Evaluation of the performance of the project:
The evaluation of the project includes the evaluation of the performance of the project for
reaching the objective of the project. In order to evaluate the performance of the project, certain
tools and techniques are needed to be used (Howell et al.,2015). In this case, the discussion
between the project team members and the management of the Western Australia can be
conducted. Apart from that the monitoring of the performance of the tanks after the repairing and
the comparison of the results before and after the renovation can be carried out.
Closing of the project:
The closing of the project can be declared after the mentioned steps are carried out in a
proper way. The main objective of the organization is to mitigate the overhead cost by

renovation of the three new tanks for the storage of the oil (Wang et al.,2016). The monitoring
of the performance of the repaired oil tanks are needed to be evaluated to see if they are serving
the purpose of the objective of the organization. In case, if the renovation is successful , it can be
said that the project has been implemented successfully and the project can be closed.
Conclusion
The discussion is about the implementation of the renovation programs of the oil storage
tanks of Western Australia. The project consists of the certain steps which are required for the
development of the project. Different management planning has been discussed with respect to
the time, cost , resources and quality. It can be said the project regarding the renovation can be
done in timely order and will deliver the proper outcome if necessary costs and time are
assigned for the different work in a proper way.
