CLOUGH AS PART OF FUTURE GENERATION JOINT VENTURE SELECTED AS PREFERRED TENDERER FOR THE CIVIL WORKS FOR SNOWY 2.0

The Clough Salini joint venture (Future Generation) has been selected as preferred tenderer for the civil works for the Snowy 2.0 Project.

Oil & Gas platform CEO, Peter Bennett said: “We are extremely pleased with the award of this iconic project by Snowy Hydro Limited. Currently celebrating its 100th year of operation, Clough is an Australian-founded engineering and construction company with a proven history of delivering world-class projects and critical infrastructure in Australia and overseas. Our local expertise will be one of the key elements for the successful delivery of Snowy 2.0 and combined with Snowy’s legacy we bring together 170 years of Australian expertise”.

“Salini Impregilo are world leaders in hydropower and tunnelling, and combined with Clough’s Australian engineering and construction expertise, this creates an unrivalled partnership capability that will deliver the project for the benefit of the Australian community. We are excited to be selected by Snowy Hydro Limited to deliver this critical national infrastructure.” Bennett said.

Snowy 2.0 will link two existing Snowy Scheme dams, Tantangara and Talbingo, through underground tunnels to the depths of up to one kilometre and an underground power station with pumping capabilities. Snowy 2.0 will add 2,000 megawatts of energy generation and provide 175 hours of energy storage for the National Electricity Market, enough to ensure the stability and reliability of the system during prolonged weather events, such as wind or solar droughts. Snowy Hydro already plays a critical role in ensuring system stability at times of peak demand, and Snowy 2.0 will enhance this existing capability.

CLOUGH DELIVERS TRAINING EXCELLENCE

Clough provides project delivery solutions to the mining, infrastructure and oil & gas industries in Australia, Asia, United Kingdom and North America. Clough’s Training Academy programmes are an integral part of its strategic initiative to build capability across the business.

Through its Construction Management Academy, and Project Management Academy, Clough encourages employees with promising leadership potential to develop their skills for their own advancement and for the long-term success and evolution of the business.

Clough’s Construction Management Academy fosters the development of construction management personnel and ensures they have the necessary knowledge and skills to manage the workforce in a safe and productive manner and to drive successful project execution.

The first module of Clough’s Construction Management Academy, the Fundamental Programme, is fast-paced and highly interactive. It’s designed to mentor participants and provide them with the knowledge and confidence to manage teams efficiently and productively, focusing on the key responsibilities they need to become a successful supervisor.

The programme includes safety leadership, managing challenging behaviour, job hazard analysis, daily reporting, and incident investigation and reporting. Critical business skills such as leadership, communication, team work and interpersonal relationships are also covered.

The module also gives participants the opportunity to interact with senior leaders and gain an understanding of what it takes to successfully execute projects at Clough.

The Clough Project Management Academy was established to develop employees with project management potential and to equip them with the skills required to facilitate the effective delivery of Clough’s projects. The Academy also aspires to produce project management professionals recognised as being the best in the industry.

Selection for the Project Management Academy is competitive and all participants are screened through a comprehensive review process that identifies people with the highest potential for project leadership roles.

Project managers play a critical role in the success of a project, and ultimately the long-term viability of the business, so as participants progress through the course levels, the selection criteria becomes more stringent. Upon completion of the course, an Advanced Certificate in Project Management from the Stanford Centre for Professional Development is awarded.

Aligned to Clough’s pursuit of excellence, it is committed to providing employees with quality training programmes to support their professional and personal development which ultimately contributes to Clough’s consistent delivery of successful project outcomes.
