BOND STREET ELIZABETH LINE STATION
The Bond Street Station project will deliver a major new Elizabeth line station, substantially increase station capacity at this busy central London location and support 24 Elizabeth line trains an hour running in each direction at peak times.

THE CHALLENGE
IPMA CEO Keith McDaid and his team were drafted into the Bond Street Station project to ensure the efficient delivery of handover and to speed up the opening. Delays had been encountered on the project prior to the appointment of IPMA.

THE WORK
IPMA moved 32 discipline-specific handover specialists to help with the handover of Bond Street Station. The team set about the implementation of bespoke project procedures to ensure that Bond Street was on track to finish ‘Right First Time’.

The result was to provide clear direction to take the project through to completion on time (revised) and within budget (revised). The benefit was educational to all involved in the project as it showed a clear way forward, as to what needed to be done, by whom and by when.

PADDINGTON STATION - ELIZABETH LINE
Paddington Station was one of the first stations to complete installations and assurance activities as part of the Elizabeth Line programme and is a key interchange with the existing Network Rail services at Paddington Mainline station and with London Underground.

THE CHALLENGE
IPMA Faced a number of challenges at Paddington. When IPMA started works on C405 Paddington, the project was delayed by around 24 months - a number of factors caused the delay.

THE WORK
IPMA fully reviewed the project status and completed a proposal to handover in order to open on time and within budget.

Delay turned into being ahead of programme, finishing early in many cases. We achieved our milestones - this meant that the principle contractors received all associated milestone payments, of which the largest was £38 million. C405 was transformed into the “crown jewel” of the Elizabeth Line.

DIAMANTINA POWER STATION
Diamantina Power Station is a combined-cycle gas turbine electricity generation plant located in Mount Isa, Queensland, Australia. The power station was developed by APA Group and AGL Energy Limited with a total project cost of $570 million.

THE CHALLENGE
IPMA was engaged at a later stage in the development of this project. The project required precision fitting of the turbines, specialist welding of the boiler components and optimisation of lift loads to reduce the number of heavy crane lifts required. There were no certification delivery processes in place so at that stage, so it was clear this task had to be carried out from scratch.

THE WORK
The implementation of handover/certification procedures for all M&E systems included all elements of the installation, so each handover ITP had to be system-specific to capture the complicated systems involved in the power station.

THE RESULT
As a result of the work completed by IPMA, the project enjoyed successful implementation of certification and handover processes. We developed a strong relationship with the client and the systems were handed over seamlessly and on time.

AUSTRALIA PACIFIC LNG
Australia Pacific LNG is a coal seam gas (CSG) to liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Curtis Island, off the shore of Queensland, near Gladstone.
The plant delivers a cleaner, more sustainable energy source with a estimated total project cost of $24.7bn. VIEW FULL PROJECT DETAILS
THE CHALLENGE
IPMA’s challenge on APLNG was to complete two 156,000m3 storage tanks on time for the processing facility to develop sufficient storage of liquified natural gas to allow LNG tankers to deliver to Asia on time. The project was running six months behind schedule on installation.
VIEW FULL PROJECT DETAILS
THE WORK
IPMA implemented a new handover process with integrated inspectors working with the site team to guide them on how to progress the installation to the client’s requirements.
VIEW FULL PROJECT DETAILS
THE RESULT
The methods implemented by IPMA resulted in a turnaround of the six-month delay.

DEVIL CREEK
This Devil Creek development project was constructed on a Greenfield site, approximately 50 kilometres from Karratha in Western Australia, with the aim to provide domestic gas to the Western Australian energy market.
VIEW FULL PROJECT DETAILS
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge on DCDP was to substantially speed up the delivery. The project was running behind and had impending delivery deadlines for the offshore connection into the onshore processing facility, which was where we were focused.
VIEW FULL PROJECT DETAILS
THE WORK
IPMA employed a number of measures, most notably the placement of site-specific engineers to drive the construction teams to handover on time as well as renew the certification process in parallel.
VIEW FULL PROJECT DETAILS
THE RESULT
The result was that IPMA got it ‘Right First Time’ and handed over the project four weeks early, avoiding any delay charges for the main contractor in the process.
