SUMMARY:Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Breakfast Event (Townsville)
DESCRIPTION:2019 Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report\nThe Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report is the definitive guide to the state of play in the contracting and infrastructure industry in Queensland. The report is a mainstay of government policy\, media commentary and influence\, as we actively pursue and deliver the transformational projects that employ our people\, connect our communities and drive the long term economic and social wellbeing of the state. Developed using leading economic data from BIS-Oxford Economics and project data from QMCA and IAQ members and their supply chain\, the 2019 Queensland Major Projects Pipeline Report is a true representation of the major engineering projects being considered for approval\, funding and delivery in Queensland. \nJoin us at our gala breakfast in Townsville where we will officially launch the report and outline the key initiatives that will shape our industry for the coming years. Date And Time Tuesday\, 6 August 2019 7:00 am – 9:15 am AEST Location The Ville Resort Sir Leslie Thiess Dr\, Townsville QLD 4810 \nPartners and Supporters\nQMCA and IAQ are thankful to following partners. Without the support of Accura Consulting\, Cbus\, Construction Skills Queensland\, Dial Before You Dig\, Pumps United\, BMD Group\, EconomX\, PlanGrid and Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland production of the 2019 QMPPR Report would simply not have been possible. \n \n \n

SUMMARY:QMCA Networking Event - Genex Power: Kidston Renewable Energy Hub
DESCRIPTION:Genex Power: Kidston Renewable Energy Hub \nGenex Power Limited is an Australian publicly listed company on the ASX (under the code ‘GNX’)\, focused on generation and storage of renewable energy. Genex is developing a clean energy hub in north Queensland\, integrating large-scale solar with pumped storage hydro. The Genex Kidston Clean Energy Hub is a world first\, innovative integration of intermittent solar energy with low cost energy storage creating “Renewable Energy On Tap”. The Company is also developing the 50MW Jemalong Solar Project (JSP)\, located near Forbes in NSW. \n  \nSponsors: \n  \n\n\n\n \nBy finding solutions to complex challenges and opportunities\, John Holland transforms communities to make them easier to move around\, more connected and better to live in. We work in Australia\, New Zealand and South East Asia\, offering services from infrastructure and property development to rail and building. Some examples of projects currently being undertaken by John Holland in Queensland include the Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project and the Gold Coast Seaway project.\n \nMcConnell Dowell is the Creative Construction Company for clients who want to build better communities through safe\, smart\, efficient infrastructure. Since 1961\, we have built thousands of quality assets and facilities for clients and communities. Our expertise has grown steadily to span civil\, electrical\, fabrication\, marine\, mechanical\, pipelines\, rail\, tunnel and underground construction. Our culture is founded on expertise\, creativity and progressive thinking.\n\n\n\nGuest Speakers: \n \nSimon Kidston\nCo-Founder & Executive Director\nGenex Power \nSimon has an investment banking background with more than 25 years global experience with groups such as Macquarie Bank\, HSBC and Helmsec Global Capital.  Simon is a co-founder and Executive Director of Genex Power\, and has responsibility for project finance and business development.  Simon was involved in the funding arrangements for Stage 1 of the Kidston Renewable Energy Hub (50MW Kidston Solar Project)\, and is now engaged with banks and potential equity partners for Stage 2 (Integrated 250 MW Pumped Storage Hydro and 270MW Solar Project). He has a Bachelor of Commerce degree from Griffith University\, a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment from the Securities Institute of Australia and is a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. \n \nMike Westerman\nSenior Technical Director Hydropower\nGHD \nMike Westerman has 40 years’ experience in delivering renewable energy projects\, with a focus on hydro. Mike has worked across the full range of delivery from project identification\, development and feasibility studies through to documentation\, procurement\, construction supervision and commissioning. Mike has a comprehensive technical and commercial understanding of renewable projects\, including due diligence\, risk management and contract packaging. He has successfully delivered projects in 19 countries across Africa\, the Middle East\, and the broader Asia-Pacific region from Pakistan to Fiji. \nHydro project development is a complex and continually evolving multi-disciplinary activity involving projects that span large areas and timeframes. Conventional and pumped hydro schemes alike rely on large quantities of data. This data encompasses a wide range of revenue\, network\, geotechnical\, hydrological\, spatial\, geographical\, and human stakeholder information that must be collected and analysed to guide optimum project performance. \nThe digital revolution has made greater quantities of better quality data more readily available\, and has made it easier to identify and use the most appropriate data for each project. While this has led to improved productivity of hydro development operations\, it has also highlighted inconsistencies both in the data generated by different organisations and in data collection methods. \nAs a leader in the application of digital engineering to hydro projects\, GHD is constantly improving the collection and application of digital information to benefit stakeholders across all project levels and phases. In this presentation\, Mike will provide an overview of best practices and emerging trends across the full lifecycle of a variety of hydro projects. \n
