Insight AWP’s Post

As a free inclusion to those coming to the Melbourne Networking evening (purchase tickets here https://hubs.ly/Q02nDLbp0) we have lined up a mini seminar geared at discussion on the Western Outer Ring Main (WORM). the challenges, the successes and all the other complexities that come along with it. Looking forward to seeing you all there. Presentation 1 – Western Outer Ring Main The Western Outer Ring Main Pipeline Project (WORM) is a critical piece of infrastructure required to secure Victoria’s Energy supply by connecting high pressure gas pipelines on the east and west of Melbourne. This presentation discusses the challenges of procuring land access and government approvals for the WORM in a growing urban environment. The discussion will focus on the process for obtaining initial access to land for surveys through to final easement acquisition, working with registered aboriginal parties to mitigate and manage impacts to aboriginal cultural heritage and understanding the complexities of net gain offset requirements at both State and Federal level. Presenters Dennis Reid, General Manager Infrastructure Planning & Approvals, APA Group & Tom Carroll, Program Manager SE, APA Group Presentation 2 - Western Outer Ring Main (WORM) The Western Outer Ring Main project is a high pressure, buried gas transmission pipeline, approximately 51 kilometres long, which provides a new connection between existing pipelines at Plumpton in Melbourne’s west and Wollert in the north. The project includes a major watercourse crossing of Jacksons Creek. This crossing required realignment during the construction phase due to access restrictions. The discussion will focus on optioneering activities due to the realignment and the resulting construction challenges and successes.

☑️Earlier today, we presented our excellent results for 2023. Last year, our EBITDA grew by 7% to €1.5 billion, net profit went up to €153 million (+39%), and profitability soared to a record 33%. These key figures for 2023 reflect our sustained value-creation strategy, thanks to its focus on infrastructure and water assets, which make up 93% of the group's EBITDA. In this time, we have won significant P3 contracts: El Loa Airport in Chile, the Via del Mare and A-21 highways (Italy) and most notably, a section of the I-10 highway in Louisiana (United States). ➡️The I-10 Calcasieu River bridge project, in which we take part as Calcasieu Bridge Partners with Acciona and Plenary Americas, is the largest in the history of the LA DOTD and was one of the largest infrastructure contracts commissioned in North America in 2023. 2023 was a great year for Sacyr overall, but specially for our activities in the North American market. We had set set the goal to increase our P3 backlog in English-speaking countries as one of the major objectives in the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan. Participating in the I-10 Calcasieu River bridge project is a major advancement towards achieving this objective in the next strategic cycle. #Sacyr2023Results 📌More on our 2023 results: https://ow.ly/norn50QJ944
