Pivoting to deliver green energy projects

Phronis is profiled today in The Australian Financial Review. We were asked our opinion on critical infrastructure delivery.

While technology, technical capability and capacity will always feature in our thinking, given the ambitious infrastructure plans being proposed by all levels of government, we feel the real step change comes from greater collaboration and planning across government.

We have an extraordinary depth of talent already in this country which can (and who are motivated to) deliver these infrastructure agendas, but not if we continue to perpetuate them in competitive isolation and without a bigger strategy of national significance in mind.

We feel we are poised for extraordinary things as a nation if a new level of collaboration is possible.

It has been great to see some of the team offshore again after a few years, and inspiring the delivery of future project investments in Australia. It has been an honour to be selected.

Phronis is proud to be providing engineering support to Sun Cable’s world-changing Australia-Asia PowerLink project by completing the civil works pre-feasibility study for the solar farm precinct (the world’s largest solar generation and battery storage facility) as well as assisting on facilities concepts in Darwin and Singapore.

We have partnered to deliver the preliminary civil engineering layout and concept design of the solar precinct and supporting infrastructure including rail sidings, airfield, helipad, road network, logistics hub, photovoltaic (PV) array, operational facilities, HV alignments, and positioning of substations, power conditioning systems and the voltage source converter. Phronis also delivered the infrastructure construction cost estimate, construction fleet estimate and fuel consumption estimate. As authors of the civil engineering pre-feasibility report, the concept planning work and costs information were drawn together to provide the basis for the next stage of development.

This really is one of those projects that will change the world and we are honoured to have been selected by Sun Cable to move the creation process forward and start making Sun Cable’s vision real.

Being involved brings real life to our purpose of inspiring delivery of world-changing infrastructure too.

Challenge: Driving waste out of infrastructure investment.

Another strategic milestone achieved for 2021.

Another step in being better positioned to support Queensland’s impressive transport infrastructure program for the future for the next 3 years.

This recognition and the challenge we’ve set ourselves of driving waste out of infrastructure investment is a formidable offering.

Kudos to the Phronis team for the great work delivered over the last few years on projects across multiple markets to demonstrate our capability in this area.

This year we’ve added support for projects in South America, and we are exploring opportunities to partner with clients in Korea and India.

Not bad for a Queensland business just shy of 10 years old.

From humble beginnings from a home office in 2012, to our fabulous HQ now in Milton, Phronis is a team of around 45 people and has continued to support clients and projects domestically and abroad. This year we’ve added support for projects in South America, and we are exploring opportunities to partner with clients in Korea and India.

Under the current circumstances, this has not been easy, but that doesn’t mean it is not possible. Inspiring the delivery of world-changing infrastructure is too important to make us take our eye off our purpose.

A huge thanks to all our clients, partners, and most importantly our team.

Phronis recently provided detailed design services for an upgrade to a biogas flare at a sewerage treatment plant. The flare was designed and manufactured in Australia by Energy 360 Pty Ltd – Biogas specialists.

Our core scope included creating structural, piping, and underground services design solutions that were integrated into the client’s existing 3D model. We also provided HAZOP facilitation services. 

Equally rewarding was the rapid responses to technical queries that were raised during construction to support the construction schedule. When faced with an unexpected challenge, the client reached out and we identified a solid solution within a few hours that would have otherwise delayed construction.

We invited 2 special guests to challenge our thinking. One from the world of insurance and another with a background in ammonia / hydrogen production and management. Their independence, challenge, and different perspectives drove new levels of analysis.

It was a fascinating and inspired discussion. Thank you to Patrick Whittle and James Murphy for leading us through the discussion.
