I just wanted to give you some feedback on the incredible effort your guys have made thus far in progressing a really challenging job and making it a successful outcome, under really difficult circumstances.

The professional way that Shane and Anthony have conducted themselves is a credit to your organisation especially following our three safety principles in the execution of all tasks that have been presented to them.

They have on numerous occasions spoke up for safety, never taken short cuts, demonstrated  stop and think suspension of work especially when there were difficult questions to be answered succinctly and above all with safety as the determining factor.

An example of each would be:

• Shane’s involvement with stopping the job during the complex lifting plan to lift the cable drum onto the cable stand resulting in failure of the axle bar.
• Antony’s intervention when presented with a colleague who was unwell and escorted the person back to camp to see a medic.

Both Shane and Antony have demonstrated leadership qualities that demonstrate sound knowledge, management  and respect from the work crews that have directed/managed during the project.

If you wish me to elaborate any further you can call me to discuss.

GTS team, I would just like to share a quick incident report which was entered into our system by one of our HV technicians, as part of the recent work at the JAN Sub Station. During the outage I was made aware of the fact our guys were pretty impressed with the level of professionalism shown by the GTS team onsite, and the level of ownership they took upon themselves. It’s what we expect of our contractors but don’t always see and it’s a credit to your organisation that the frontline guys are conducting themselves in this manner. The work you guys do is full of risk but managed well along with our HV team. So thanks again to you guys and your team on conducting a safe outage. Please share this feedback with them as they need to know that their actions haven’t gone un-noticed.

Incident Report Extract

Global Testing was contracted to carry out a major maintenance outage on (JAN) transformer equipment. The contractor’s team specified what they wanted from us in the way of permits for various work compared to other contractors that sometimes seem to just go with the flow. As much as we had planned out the permitting system in stages, they were vocal in what they wanted and why, which showed some knowledge they had taken from our induction process. Global Testing also asked many questions about waste disposal and environmental impacts. Daily toolbox meetings were conducted and concentrated on specific subjects every day. Seeing this boosted our confidence in the guys doing the job knowing that they were involved, and serious about what they were doing.

Just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into our job. The job was completed on time, with high quality and no safety issues. This is evidence of your knowledge, preparation and experience. I don’t think we could have done anything better that we did, and that is a good feeling to have.

Thanks for the quick fixing of our tap changer motor. Very impressive. There is also a number of other things that were done very well, for instance oil level gauge fixing, tap changer protection device fixing. Thanks also for the M4 unit transformer busing fix. Big improvement on the original design.

I’d like to thank you and the boys for the excellent work you guys did. Nothing was too much trouble for the boys and we really appreciate that they could stay back longer than expected to test those other surge diverters. Everyone worked safely and professionally and there were no incidents, and everyone worked in with the other contractors on site nicely.

Overall I think GTS is very professional in the way they conduct themselves, and very well organised, you had all the gear and the expertise and even finished ahead of schedule! So once again mate thanks!

Daniel was very thorough and picked up several anomalies with our relay settings which was good to see. All the guys worked well and were easy to get along with and accommodating to our needs with changing priorities as the job focus and schedule was changing quite a bit.
