Project Background

The BP tank farm is located approximately 10km west of Melbourne, VIC. OGP was engaged to provide engineering and project management services for the installation of two 250KL base oil storage tanks and four 100KL additive tanks at the storage tank facility. The project also encompassed the electrical and instrumentation infrastructure for the new equipment, as well as integrating it with the existing operational interfaces.

OGP's Role:

Project Delivery Services

The OGP Solution

The project scope and schedule were demanding, and our in-house team effectively managed several key tasks:

  • Served as Project manager during the construction, commissioning, and handover phases.
  • Oversaw scheduling and risk management throughout the construction, commissioning, and handover phases.
  • Administered contracts with multiple installation contractors.

The Outcome

The project faced the risk of late delivery due to schedule slippage caused by inadequate contracts suppliers, and delays in obtaining council approval for the transport plan to deliver the base oil tanks from NSW. OGP worked closely with the local council, regulatory authorities, and suppliers to support the development of transport plans, expediting the project’s delivery. Additionally, we also re-phased project schedules to recover lost time, ensuring the project was completed on schedule for operational handover– a significantly more favourable outcome for BP.
