The first piling broke ground in September, 2004 and had peak manpower of just under 2800 people. The project includes five units, producing 600,000 TPA of Acetic Acid, 60,000 TPA Emulsion, 100,000 TPA Acetic Anhydride, 300,000 TPA Vinyl Acetate Monomer and 20,000 TPA UHMW-PE. MaisonWorleyParsons�scope of work includes BEP, DEP, Local Authority liaison, Project Management, Procurement, Construction Management and Completions.

The project site, with an integrated HSE team set up, established a comprehensive HSE program. Project top management was proactively involved in ‘weekly management safety walk-about�and intervened if any unsafe condition or unsafe action was found. Projects included a comprehensive HSE policy and incentive plan. In addition to safety induction, extensive safety training was delivered to all workers in order to control high risk activities such as “working at height� A ’zero tolerance�policy was implemented and proved to be highly effective. Also, implemented was a ‘scoring system�to assess subcontractors�performance every month; poor performers would be put onto a black list which will be associated with cooperation assessments on future projects. By doing so we ensure that each subcontractor willingly assumes the responsibility of being compliant with all applicable safety/health rules, regulations, procedures/standards and others, as applicable.

This achievement represents the consistent commitment from all levels of MaisonWorleyParsons�management and the involvement of each individual. World class safety records are the combined achievement of everyone working towards consistent goals!
