Scope


TRIPLENINE was contracted by Lion Nathan for the installation of all process and services equipment and piping associated with the new 18 vessel cellar project. Included installation of approx 12,000 mts of tube and pipe.
New product and services piping was run from the existing plant across to the new cellar. From the new cellar new bright beer line were run out to the bottling and canning halls to the individual filler terminating with a new integrated manifold at each filler to allow filler and CIP of the new line. 

Construction challenges


TRIPLENINE were set a demanding delivery schedule from the beginning. The short timeline meant we had to work swiftly at the beginning of the project to assemble the required personnel. Also, working closely with other contractors involved in the project – such as the building contractor, vessel delivery contractor and structural steel erector teams etc would be critical. Maintaining an operating facility was also critical to the client, careful planning was imperative to avoid any unexpected disruptions to the existing plant.

Leadership in Safety


Safety was a key consideration for the project and it invested heavily, undertaking over 1,500 hours of safety training, over 500 toolbox talks and weekly safety inspections and internal auditing. The lost time injury frequency rate of .59 for approximately 20 thousand man hours of work done was a vast improvement over previous contracts and well below the industry average of 28.
