TQ SkillsTech visits Wheatstone LNG Project, Onslow WA.
In February 2015, the Wheatstone Craft Skills Training
Centre sponsored an onsite training forum to give preferred training
organisations the opportunity to meet with on-site subcontractors to exhibit verification
of competency and training product solutions.
A group of thirty-one (31) craft preferred suppliers attended
the forum. TQ SkillsTech showcased training products for the CSG/LNG sector
which included VoCs, gas industry awareness programs, process plant operations
qualifications and recognition of prior learning. A tour of the Wheatstone site build was also
undertaken by the group.
Donna Playford, Business Manager represented TQ SkillsTech
at the forum and stated that ‘the opportunity to build relationships and visit
the site to see the progress of the plant was invaluable’. Representatives were accommodated at the 1056
bed Fly Camp and toured the onshore LNG plant and construction village sites. The
entire construction village will eventually house around 5,000 workers. Graeme
McCauley, Training Supervisor, Wheatstone Project LNG Plant, Bechtel (Western
Australia) who put together the arrangements for the forum, said that ‘it was a
success in a great number of ways’.
