Government and Independent Organisations
Innovate SAGovernment Grant and Funding AdviceNetworking Events
Industry Capability Network (ICN)Registering Your Companies Product and
Services on Supplier data basesPromoting and assisting local input on major
projects eg Fluor Daniels Inc
South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy (SACOME)Help promote companies with skills relevant to
current Major Mining ProjectsNetworking and business opportunities through
member conferences.
Water Industry Alliance (WIA)Tender and Project opportunities for membersSupporting and promoting local industries Eg Christies Beach WWTP
Competing on an International Level
Government Incentives for the large Mining and Construction Procurement Companies for using Local Industry and Service Providers.
Small Australian Companies can compete with the large International Companies for the current Australian based Mining and Construction Projects.
Succeeding in Australian Major Mining and Construction Projects will open the door for International opportunities and place your company in a much stronger position on the International Stage.
Quality Control and Procedures
Major Projects demand Products and Services that conform to the highest of Standards.
Often these project require us to meet not only Australian Standards but also stricter international standards such as American Petroleum Institute (API)British Standards (BSi) International Organization for Standardization
(ISO) etc.Be Prepared to be Audited by these Major
Construction and Procurement Companies throughout the contract periods eg; Fluor Project
Diversify Your Products and Services
For example, years ago in performing market research Basetec noticed the strong possibility for a CSG (coal seam gas) boom.
The CSG boom would call for large amounts of GRE High Pressure Pipe.
Therefore, Basetec diversified its product base from FRP/GRP vessels and ducting to include GRE High Pressure Pipes, which enabled Basetec to win the Fluor/Santos Gladstone Project.
SUMMARY
Hopefully from today's discussions you can take away some key points to help grow your business and be a part of Mining and Major Project opportunities in Australia.
