The site preparation subcontractor shall be responsible to develop a detailed construction
execution plan that will address the handling of ASS and the detailed interfaces required at
or close to the high water line. which is encountered across the west boundary of the site.
Cofferdams, either earthen or shallow sheet piles shall be used as a method to provide for
controlling leachate movement given that this is potentially contaminated. The site
preparation subcontractor shall be responsible to comply with the ASSMP that will be
prepared by Bechtel prior to the work commencing. This responsibility shall include the
provision of any technical services and specialist skilled supervision that is required to
comply with the Plan and with Queensland regulations.
The site preparation sequence is set such that the areas for the LNG tanks, concrete
batching plant, offices and the pioneer camp are prioritised
As areas reach final grade, they will be treated in a manner of different ways, broadly
described as follows:
1, Laydown and open construction areas remaining to be worked — covered in gravel
surfacing, typically 100mm but in some cases up to 150mm of materials;
2. Foundation bath tubs (typical of the mat foundations within ISBL and the LNG Tanks) will
receive their sloped and graded blinding concrete layer; and
3. Areas which have had roads installed will receive their seal coat, which will initially be
temporary, but will channel surface water to the drainage ditches running along the sides
of the roads, and work to mitigate fugitive cust.
During site preparation, surface run-off will be controlled using combinations of rock check
dams and controlled flows through temporary basins, to minimise sedimentation held in
suspension.
Materials Offloading Facility (MOF)
Commencement of the establishment of the Materials Offioading Facility (MOF) at the
northwest of the site, to receive the personnel, cargo and materials required for the
subsequent construction activities; and
‘+ Within this scope of work, a minimal amount of dredging is anticipated to support the
construction af the MOF "The dredging shall be performed and managed by athers an
behalf of Company.
Ie acilities Install
As the site preparation activities draw towards completion, establishment of the follawing
facilities will quickly take place:
‘+ Installation of the pioneer camp, which is the first 600 rooms and selected facilities
required to support day to day basic operations and accommodation;
‘+ Installation of temporary power generation, and associated fuel storage systems -
involving setting of mechanical equipment, installation and testing of piping and cabling;
‘+ Access roads, temporary roads, permanent roads and the principal heavy haul road will
be constructed as earthworks progresses to rough grade;
‘* Full temporary drainage system will be established, consisting of a system of
interconnected ditches and sedimentation basins to contain run off and sedimentation;
‘Installation of the reverse osmosis plant and temporary waste water treatment plant,
including the routing of the intake and discharge piping to the approved locations;
‘+ Installation of a water distribution network, and power distribution networks throughout
the site - which will be for the most part underground, buried and protected;

Construction Environmental Contol Plan«Erection of the concrete batching plant, tie into the established temporary water and
power, and haul in of the raw materials to commence operations (primarily aggregates,
cements and concrete admixtures):
‘+ Erection of the temporary buildings (site offices, temporary warehouse, tool rooms, crib
houses and welfare facilities for the workforce); and
‘+ Mobilisation of the first major construction equipment (including mobile cranes, flat bed
trucks, excavators, scaffolding, materials handling equipment and hand tools),
To support construction operations, power and water are a major need, and will be of
sufficient capacity and redundancy for sustained operations. Refer to Section 9 on the
description of the detailed systems for the temporary facilities and utilities infrastructure.
Stage 2 - Civil Work, Foundations and Structures
With the major early works subcontracts drawing to completion, the permanent plant direct
hire work will commence. The section below provides and overview of the general sequence
of the work.
LNG Tank For
1s
Foundation construction for the permanent plant will commence with the LNG storage tanks
(refer to more detailed execution plan for the LNG tanks as described in Section 11.6)
Foundation Construction
Within the gas train, the construction of the large reinforced foundations for the compressors,
pipe racks and other major equipment will commence. The sequence of activities will be in
accordance with the detailed schedule, but in broad terms will precede the sequence of the
module installation, working from the east of the unit to the west.
Foundation construction will commence throughout the site for the interconnecting pipe
racks, commencing from the ISBL areas, and working towards the jetty. Multiple work fronts
will proceed simultaneously along this area, such that the module installation works can
‘commence from the jetty working back towards the ISBL areas.
Foundations supporting packaged equipment within the OSBL areas will commence,
specifically in the power generation area to begin with, moving to the tank foundations and
then the smaller packaged units within the water and wastewater treatment facilities.
Concrete will be batched within the batching plant, and delivered to the work area using
agitator trucks supplied by the concrete batching plant subcontractor. A combination of
concrete pumps. buckets suspended from mobile cranes and truck mounted convevors will
be used for conerete placement as required.
During foundation construction, excavations will involve pumping of water, mainly caused by
rainfall. Geotechnical investigation data available suggests that the ground water table is
very low, and the permeability of the ground also low. As such, minimal ground water
intrusion is anticipated.
The established site drainage system, as installed during the site preparation will be used to
contain this water and any arising sediments, and where possible, the waters’ reuse
potential will be maximised, using the sedimentation basins as possible sources of water for
compaction and dust control.
Underground Electrical Feeder Trenches and Cable Pulling
As the major foundation programme draws to completion within ISBL and OSBL, the
underground electrical trenches for the feeder cables from the main substation will be
installed. ine power cables will be pulled early in tne programme, ana continuity tested,
prior to backfilling, such that this supports the final paving programme, specifically for ISBL.

Construction Environmental Contol PlanConstruction’s plan is that the substation buildings (for Train 1, being the main substation
‘compressor substation, propane condenser substation, and loading substation; and for train
2 the compressor substation and propane condenser substation) will be in place on
foundation prior to cable pulling commencing. The cables will be pulled for Train 1 initially,
closely followed by Train 2.
The cables will be run into the buildings and terminated, but where this is not possible, the
cables will be carefully laid out on dunnage in a “figure-of-eight’, such that they can be easily
handled into the buildings when they are set.
Underground Piping
Within ISBL, underground piping for the firewater systems, amine drains, along with duct
banks for underground power and control cables, will be installed and tested. The
underground firewater system is being designed around the ISBL area to tie into the
temporary system. The areas around ISBL and from ISBL to the jetty are being given first
priority, with the sections feeding the buildings area second priority.
Area Paving and Surfacing
With this underground and foundation scope significantly completed, final grade can be
quickly be achieved, allowing for a safe, flat and stable area for working on the critical above
ground mechanical and piping installation works.
‘As with all foundations construction, excavation will make significant use of mechanised
equipment (e.g. excavators, bob-cats, dump trucks and walk behind compaction equipment).
Final trim at formation level may involve some hand work, but this is anticipated to be limited.
To the maximum extent possible, the materials that arise from the excavations will be re-
used as backfill upon completion. However, by the nature of some of the excavated ground
being replaced by concrete, there will be some surplus of materials arising. These materials
will be stockpiled within the site for re-use as grading materials, and only upon completion of
all excavation works, will any final surplus be disposed of within the site boundary, together
with the grub and strip materials, to the disposal areas
commencement of Mechanical Equipment Receipt and Install
ion
The first sections of the stick built steel and mechanical equipment will be received during
this time, and prepared for erection on the completed foundations.
LNG Jett
The LNG jetty subcontractor will commence with piling operations, with a detailed description
or this working sequence as included in Section 7.5.
The LNG Jetty subcontractor scope does not include the interconnection of the modules
(with the exception of the structural attachment to the jetty trestle), which shall be
progressed by Bechtel as each of the modules is set in final position and aligned and fixed
Permanent Plant Buildings
These buildings, which are located to the west of the plot, will be constructed using an EPC
subcontract with a specialty building contractor. The levelled and graded areas will be
handed over the subcontractor who will commence with foundation operations. The location
of foundations (and of buildings) will be taken into account during the design of the site
preparation drawings, such that the various avoidance techniques employed within the
ASSMP do not have a detrimental effect on the foundation selection assumptions made
during the FEED.
The buildings are generally steel framed construction, with outer clad walle, typically of an
industrial building,

Construction Environmental Contol PlanThe utilities are being provided through locally installed packaged units where they are
required, with only the water, wastewater, power and communications systems connected
back to the plant systems. This is @ good solution that works to minimise quantities and long
runs of underground buried piping.
Stage 3 - Mechanical and Electrical Installation and Testing
Materials Deliveries
When bulk materials are received from global suppliers, they will enter Australia through Port
of Brisbane where customs and quarantine ceerance will be undertaken. These materials
will then be shipped to Gladstone through a combination of coastal vessels and road
transportation. Module deliveries are unique in that they are anticipated to be delivered
direct from international waters, with customs clearance and quarantine inspections will be
performed at the MOF. During development of the MOF, an area will be designed to
function for quarantine and inspection of the Modules. The project will work with Australian
Quarantine Inspection Services (AQIS) to ensure that all requirements for safe quarantine
and inspection of incoming cargo is accommodated, specifically including handling of
packaging and wash down from marine transportation.
Major deliveries of equipment and materials for the above ground will commence when the
MOF and temporary facilities are available to receive them. These deliveries are anticipated
and planned within the overall construction programme to coincide with the planned delivery
of commodities purchased from both global and local suppliers.
Deliveries will include modules, structural steel, mechanical equipment, electrical equipment,
piping materials, plus all other consumable materials that are typically used during
construction of a major project. Deliveries of materials will all be by barge, with offloading
handled by the crawler crane established on the MOF, and also by using roll-on roll-off
capabilities for oversized equipment (cold boxes, modules). Where materials are delivered
earlier than needed for installation, or in batches, these will be staged, inspected and stored
within designated materials staging areas under the control of the warehouse. These areas
will be a combination of open, covered and climate controlled, appropriately sized for the
planned materials deliveries and storage durations. During this time, all of the materials are
inspected by trained and qualified personnel, prior to being authorised for release and
incorporation into the plant.
Module Offioading and Installation
The Modules will be delivered from the Thailand fabrication facilities on approximately 30
separate shipments, all being received at the MOF. These Modules range from 150 tonnes
up to 3,000 tonnes, and will be delivered to the site on acean going barges, pulled by tractor
tugs. Upon arrival the modules will be inspected on the vessel and when approved for
offloacing, will be moved using SPMT. As required, the modules will move through the AQIS
area for cleaning and preparation in a controlled environment, prior to moving to foundation.
The larger modules which are arriving on single shipments will progress directly to
foundation (subject to AQIS requirements), whereas the smaller multiple module shipments
will be handled to foundation where possible, and to the laydown area if interim storage is
required. Any cans and staging equipment ere being provided by Bechtel, and will not be
sourced on a rental basis through the heavy haul subcontractor.
The OSBL plpe-rack modules from the Jetty head through to ISBL are being set first and In
that sequence. The bridges over the road will be left out for the LNG tanks, specifically for
the movements of heavy cranes between the work site and the laydown area
The modules for the jetty are being handled and sat by the | NG jetty subcontractor using an
over-top approach, as described within Section 7, and the land based modules are being set
and installed by trailer by Bechtel. Selected modules may be required to be crane set;

Construction Environmental Contol Planhowever the plan is to drive over as far as is possible to mitigate crane pad set up and
removal activities
Within the yas Wains, Ure module seyuerve (including larye packayed units) cunmmenves
with the propane condensers, propane chillers, cold boxes, cryogenic pipe-racks,
dehydration pipe-rack, AGRU pipe-racks, cable racks around the compressor substation
buildings. In general work will be progressing from the OSBL pipe-racks towards the west of,
the plant.
OSBL module setting will continue to work out through the utilities areas, working towards
the storage drums, located to the far east of the project site. Large packaged units will also
be installed throughout this area, including the gas turbine generators and utilities packages
for air and nitrogen systems.
Detailed descriptions of module setting and interconnection are described within Section 3.
Mechanical Equipment Setting and Structural Stee!
The refrigeration compressors will be set in place using the following sequence for both
Train 1 and then Train 2
1. Methane (S) / Methane (N)
2. Ethylene (S)/ Ethylene (N)
3. Propane (S)/ Propane (N)
The compressor skids will be set in place using the CC2800 with super-lift, with the engine
housing skids set in place next. The sequence of build out will be aligned with the steel
superstructure, such that the stacks can be installed within the structural steel so that
temporary supporting is minimised. The main structural steel columns adjacent to the
cryogenic pipe-rack will be set initially, working back to the inlet housing side of the deck,
and then working the subsequent layers as the compressors are built out, and the elevated
components are requiring supports,
The final component of the compressors for installation will be the inlet housing, which will
also be connected to large diameter piping for the Inlet Air Chilling (IAC) system, which is
located between the OSBL pipe-rack and the compressor deck.
The final component part of the compressors will be the waste heat recovery unit, which is
installed on the stacks of the methane compressors, but is supported above the roof of the
building.
The majority of the other large tnechanical equipment is located within the modules,
However, the CO; absorber and solvent regenerators remain as stick build. These pieces of
‘equipment can be set in place prior to the module installation, as the haul route has been
engineered to avoid these foundations. As discussed in Section 3, these will be pre-dressed
at a location close to final installation, which is aligned with the lifting plans, such that double
handling on trailers is avoided, where possible.
The mechanical equipment associated with the AGRU, specifically the amine storage tanks,
drainage sump and pumps, will be required to be left until after the cryogenic pipe-rack
modules are installed, as the module route does encroach on this area. However, the scope
of work is relatively simple, and close to grade, so it will be possible to make up schedule
within this area,
The field erected tanks subcontract will commence work within the OSBL areas initially,
focussing on the large firewater tanks, and progressing the work to the smaller ISBL tanks.
Where possible, the subcontract will be encouraged to pre-fabricate the tanke for ISBL, as
they are located at the AGRU amine storage area, which as discussed earlier, will be a leave
out for the module haul. As such the foundation work will commence later within this area,

Construction Environmental Contol Pianand schedule recovery will be required through the critical path piping, and this is best
afforded with the fixed points for piping in place as early as possible.
Lucal Cabling anu Tubing
With the mechanical equipment set in place, specifically around the compressor deck and
the around the heavy vessels in the AGRU, structural steel supports and cable trays can be
installed. Local runs of cable from instrument to junction box can commence, together with
local air headers and tubing. Small scale test out of subsystems can occur at this point, prior
to the commencement of home run cables for power and control systems, and
interconnection of piping to the main headers which are contained within the modules.
Interconnection and Pipe Fitting
Piping installation will commence under the compressor deck, as soon as the machines are
installed. Where possible, construction will explore opportunities to accelerate the large
spools that feed into the compressor suction and discharge, such that they can be lowered
into position through the openings prior to the machines being installed
Construction will work with engineering to detail the correct places for the break flanges
within these large bore critical lines, such that machine jacking can be avoided for the benefit
of testing of the pipe after alignments. This was a critical lessons learned from Darwin LNG,
‘where major rework was associated with this issue.
With the modules set in place, and the equipment that is effectively “standalone” set on
foundation, the major task of interconnecting all of these components will commence. This
involves installing the remaining pipe spools, structural steel, power and instrumentation
cables between all equipment and modules, to develop the installation into completed
systems ready for integrity testing and commissioning activities. Equipment engaged in this
‘work will involve mobile cranes, and working from elevated mobile platforms and scaffolding.
The most complex hook up of piping will be from the cryogenic pipe-rack to the compressor
area During the design, construction will work with engineering to get sufficient space
between the compressor deck and the pipe-rack to be able to drive in a 50 tonne hydraulic
all terrain crane. By doing this the spool installation can be performed in a sequential
manner from the OSBL rack to wards the maintenance bay, working the crane out of this
space as is required Construction will also consider making us of embeds within the
concrete deck for the installation of temporary lifting beams, specifically to handle the large
control valves, which will require handling during installation and testing. However, where
possible, the location of the control valves will be carefully considered during design, taking
this removal and replacement inta affact
Home Run Cabling
The home run cabling effort will commence in eamest with the modules set in place, as the
design has all of the major cable trays set on the upper elevations...
Fireproofing
Fireproofing of the structural steel will be completed within the module yard. However, there
remains a scope of fireproofing of mechanical equipment skirts and supports at the site, and
there will be local patching and repairs required at the site. Patching and repairs will be
required where additional supports are required back to structural steel (although this is
anticipated to be minimal, as where these are required, they will be either yard installed, or
will be clamped-type supports). Where temporary shipping steel is required to be removed,
as far as is possible, the locations of the connections will be outside of the fireproofing.

Construction Environmental Contol PlanFireproofing will be light weight cementitous systems, which are applied using a trowel on
method, which minimises the weight in transportation of the modules, and also works to limit
the amount of formwork that is reauired (typical with conventional castable svstems).
Stage 4 - Systems Testing and Completions
Testing of Pipe
When the installation work is completed, all of the mechanical, electrical and control systems
are tested for both strength and integrity. The modules are planned to be retested at the
site. However, the testing that is performed at the module yard allows for the completion of
painting, coating and insulation with the modules, and the focus of the strength testing at the
site is only at the interconnections.
This is to reduce the number of closure welds (golden welds) that will be required. Closure
‘welds will be required in certain locations where isolation, cleaning, stored energy and other
such requirements make retesting impractical or an unnecessary risk (in the event of
Pneumatic testing). Where closure welds are to be used, these will be proposed and agreed
during engineering design model reviews, in conjunction with engineering, construction and
‘Company,
For the piping systems, the testing will involve a combination of water and cleaned dry air.
Upon completion of testing and cleaning, all piping systems will be blown dry and inerted in
accordance with the system requirements determined with the commissioning and start-up
group.
Painting and Insulation
Painting will follow behind the pipe testing programme. Where critical or sensitive leak
testing is required in accordance with ASME 631.3, the pipe joints will not be painted prior to
testing. However, where allowed by code, and upon NDE clearance, the pipe will be painted
prior to testing
However, insulation completion will be worked in close coordination with start-up, as there
will be critical joints, connections and valves which cannot be covered prior to the
introduction of hydrocarbons. Where this occurs, the final insulation will only be completed
when authorised by the start-up manager.
Electrical and Control Systems Completion and Testin:
Completion of electrical installation and testing will then involve the functional checking of
the power generation equipment and distribution systems, cabling, instrumentation and
safety shutdown systems responsible for the automated plant control.
Testing of the systems installed on the modules (both power and controls) will then be
inlegialed into the overall systems checking and testing, including loop checking back
through the integrated control systems.
Systems will then be handed over to the control of the commissioning and start-up group
using the mechanical completion procedures. At this point. component parts of the plant in
completed states, are being progressively handed over to commence check out and
readiness for introduction of energy sources.
Stage 5 - Energisation and Introduction of Hydrocarbons
Upon satisfactory completion and testing of the mechanical, electrical and control systems,
and completion of all required inspections, vessel closures and supporting documentation
submitted, the completed plant will under’ the control of the commissioning and start up
manager.
This commissioning and start-up team, in working together with the Company, is responsible

to provide supporting services to commissioning and start up, such as cleaning and blowing
spools. liftina and removing of spools. blinding and isolations as are required and directed.
‘Separate commissioning and start-up plans wil be prepared for this section of the work.
LNG Tank Execution Plan
The LNG tanks will be constructed on direct hire basis, with selected specialty
‘subcontracts for elements of the work. The subcontracted elements of the scope may
include the post tensioning and perlite blowing, plus the non destructive examination.
Concrete will be supplied to the tank from the project batching plant, with the mix designs as
specified within the engineering design.
The LNG Tank Manager will be responsible for this area of construction, with a dedicated
team of field engineering and supervisory staffing, and will report directly to the Site
Manager.
The construction sequence is described below in 26 basic steps.
1. Construction of Bottom Slab
The site preparation subcontractor will turn over a completed site, including the provision of
the scal slab. Upon completion of the earthwork, the lean concrete scal slab and the outer
formwork shall be installed. The Rebar and ell concrete inserts including, Heating System,
Post-Tensioning Ducts, Inclinometer Monitoring Conduits, and others shall be installed. The
Concrete shall then be placed and cured in sections of quadrants.
2. Construction of the Concrete Containment Wall

Construction Environmental Contol PianThe climbing formwork shall be installed on the inside of the wall location using the crane.
The prefabricated rebar mats will then be installed for the 1° lift. All concrete inserts
including post-tensionina ducts and embeds shall then be installed. The first one or two lifts
shall have two construction openings placed approximately 180 degrees apart. The
construction openings shall be sized large enough to allow standard construction equipment
access to the inside of the tanks. After the construction openings are formed out the
formwork shall then be placed on the outside of the wall location. The first lift shall then be
placed and cured. The process shall then be repeated 7 to 10 times depending on final tank
and formwork designs. (Additional supervision must be used to ensure post-tensioning ducts
are water tight so concrete will not leak through, and debris is not dropped down the duct to
collect at the bottom of the U.)
3. Installation of the Bottom Vapour Barrier.
Upon completion of the bottom slab cure, the prefabricated bottom vapour barrier plates
shall be placed, welded out and vacuum boxed.
4. Erection of the Stee! Roof
A simple jig shall be fabricated onsite in close proximity to the tank to prefabricate the pie
shaped structural steel segments. The prefabrication of the steel segments shall start in the
same time frame as the construction of the bottom slab. Upon completion of the bottom
vapour barrier, the temporary dome support system shall be installed on the tank floor. The
prefabricated steel segments shall then be picked with the crane and be placed to rest on
the temporary support system. As the steel segments are placed they shall be joined and the
walkways, decks, and the prefabricated dome plates (upper vapour barrier) shall be
installed. As the dome plates are welded out they are vacuum box tested. Upon completion
of the dome, the centre segments of the temporary support system shall be removed, the
‘segments mounted against the wall shall be removed after air raise. The dual monorail hoist
system around the periphery of the dome shall be installed before the aluminium suspended
deck is started.
5. Aluminium Suspended Deck.
When the centre segments of the temporary dome support system are removed, the
suspended deck support clips and cables or rigid supports shall be attached to the dome
structural steel using man lifts. As the cables or rigid supports are being installed the
prefabricated aluminium stringers and sheets shall be laid out on the tank floor and
assembled. When the assembly of the aluminium deck is completed it shall be attached and
suspended from the cables
6. jonstruct ompressioy
The prefabricated compression ring shall be irstalled on the top of the last lft of the concrete
containment wall using a crane.
7. Roof Air Raising (Milestone)
The temporary equipment systems shall be installed including, the cable guide system, the
temporary opening closures, the airlock on one of the construction openings, the fans
system, and the seal system around the periphery of dome. Upon completion of installation
and verification of the temporary equipment systems the air raising sequence shall be
initiated. Air will be injected to the inner tank via the fan system. Then the roof will be
checked to ensure it is lifting in a uniform manor about the periphery. Then personnel shall
be evacuated from inner tank via air locks. Then the air will continue to be injected until the
dome seats against the compression ring. When the dome is seated the welders, already
mobilised to the compression ring arca, will then fit and weld out the dome to the
compression ring. When the weld has been verified the fans system will be disengaged and

the; temporary opening closures, air locks, and fans system shall be removed. The final
stage of the air raise is the complete installation and weld out of the gusset plate to the dome
structural steel and compression ring,
8. Placing the Roof Concrete Rina Beam
Upon completion of the air raise the roof ring beam, the prefabricated rebar mats will then be
installed and all concrete inserts including post-tensioning ducts and embeds shall then be
installed. The concrete shall then be placed and cured.
9. Placing of the Bottom Concrete Ring Beam.
Upon completion of air raise, the forms shall be constructed for the bottom concrete ring
beam. The prefabricated rebar mats will then be installed and all concrete inserts including;
embeds, purge pipes, and conduits shall then be installed. The concrete shall then be placed
and cured,
10. Roof Rebar
Before loading the dome with the adaitional welght of the rebar and concrete a partial post-
tensioning of the roof ring beam must be performed. When the post-tensioning of the roof
ring beam is complete the Nelson Studs shall then be welded to the dome plates. Then the
rebar shall be placed, most of these mats will be stick built in place.
11. Concrete Wall Vapour Barrier
After air raise the wall vapour barrier shall be installed. The prefabricated plates shall be
placed, fit, welded, and vacuum boxed across the tank floor to create one long ribbon sheet.
This sheet will then be hoisted up the inside of the concrete containment walll where it can be
fitted and welded to embeds and vacuum boxed. This sequence can be occurring in two
locations simultaneously on opposite sides of the tank.
12. Comer Protection
The corner protection shall start after the wall vapour barrier and be completed before the
9%Ni inner shell is erected. The corner protection is typically two concourses high. Cell glass
will be installed then capped with 9%Ni cover plate.
13. Post-tensioning of the Wall
The temporary caps will be removed and the duct blown out to verify continuity and remove
any small debris that may have deposited. After verification of continuity between holes a
suing will be blowi Unough Ue duct aud tied lo a Faget pull Gable. The pull cable will Uren
be attached to the strand bundle and pulled through the duct. The strand bundle will be
anchored at one end and tensioned with a hydraulic tensioner. The strand bundles will be
pulled and tensioned in both the horizontal and vertical directions (strand Bundles that
intersect construction openings shall be pulled when construction openings are closed after
hydro-test stage). Upon completion of tensioning, the strand bundles shall be grouted into
position.
14, Placing the Roof Concrete
Upon completion of roof rebar installation the inner tank shall be pressurised, all openings,
temporary and permanent shall be sealed. The 1" lift of concrete shall then be placed and
cured. After the first lift has reached strength requirements the inner tank can be
depressurised, then the 2 lift can be placed and cured
15. Installation of the 9%Ni Bottom Plate and the Bottom Insulation

‘9%Ni Bottom Plate shall be vacuum boxed prior to hydro-test. Special care must be taken to
ensure any accidental dios. aouges and arc marks be properly prepared before hydro.
16. _ Installation of the Annular Plate and Inner Shell
The annular plate shall be placed, fit, and welded on top of the bottom concrete ring beam.
The inner shell can then start the erecting, fitting, and welding sequence on top of the
annular plate. The inner shell erection sequence shall be comprised of 10 concourses of 21
plates. The plates shall be set with and overhead hoist mounted on a circular monorail that is
mounted to the dome structural steel. The horizontal welds shall be made utilising double
sided welders using the SAW process. The vertical welds shall be made utilising BUG-O
‘System using FCAW process. The welds shall be inspected utilising LP, and ultrasonic
(TOFIPA),
17. Installation of the Pump Column and other Down-coming Piping
The pump columns, bottom fill, and tank gauging systems shall be prefabricated on the tank
floor The prefabrication can not be started until the installation of the 9%Ni bottom plate and
the bottom insulation have progressed more than 50%. The prefabricated piping will then
have a dolly mounted to the bottom end, then rigged and picked through the correlating
opening in the dome using a crane.
18. 99%Ni Inner Shell Construction Opening Closed
Upon completion of the installation of bulk material into the inner tank the 9%Ni construction
opening can be permanently closed in preparation of the hydro-test. At this stage, if given
the option, the temporary man-way shall be installed in the 9%Ni construction opening
closure plate.
19. Installation of Roof Top Structures
Upon completion of roof concrete the roof structure including the main operating deck,
instrument stage, PRV and VRV stages, and the centre stage shall begin erection. The
stages are typically composed of structural steel and concrete.
20. Hydrostatic Testing (Milestone
The hydrostatic test is composed of 5 key activities including; installation of the temporary
water pump and piping system from the water source, connections to the tank, filing and
draining the tank, settlement and leak monitoring, and post hydro-test cleaning. The
temporary water transit system shall be designed. engineered. and installed before 9%Ni
construction opening is closed. The temporary water transit system shall be designed to
move water to or from; the source, tank 1, and tank 2. The water transit system will connect
to the tank through the temporary man-way installed in the 9%Ni construction opening
closure plate. The tank will then be filled to a capacity that is greater than or equal to the
mass of the LNG when the tank is full. Leak and settlement monitoring shall occur
throughout the entire test. An inspection and readings shall be taken at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%,
and 100% as the tank fills, then at 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% as the tank drains. The inner
tank walls and floor shall then be sprayed with fresh water and all residues from hydro-test
water removed. The temporary water transit system shall then be demobilised if both tanks
are hydro-tested.
(Note) Additional requirements will be required if sea water is utilised including, cathodic
protection.
21. Outer Concrete Construction Opening Closed

Finally the last remaining strand bundles are pulled and tensioned
Note. The Lonuiete wunst uction opening shall nol be Ulused until all bulk material, (inludiny,
fibreglass blanket for suspended deck, perlite curtain aluminium sheet, aluminium closure
plate) has been brought inside the tank, and the resilient fibreglass blanket has been
installed on the outside of the inner tank shell.
22. Pneumatic Testing
The tank is pressurised and tell-tale holes are checked. The PRV(s) are then checked
independently to verify functionality.
23. Insulation
In close proximity to the tanks, the resilient fibre-glass blanket is prefabricated in panels their
entire length and width. The panels are then taken to the construction opening and hoisted
in to place utilising the monorail hoist. The final cover plate and remaining openings in the
perlite retaining wall are installed on the suspended deck. Then the outer concrete
construction openings are closed and the tank is pneumatic tested Then the fibre-glass
blanket is installed on the suspended deck and the annular space is filed with perlite,
24. Painting and Touch
All external piping and structures painted and touched up.
25. Drying and Inerting
Dry air is injected into the tank utilising large compressors with dryers and intercoolers.
When the tank dew point has reached approximately 0 degrees C the tank is switched to
nitrogen to begin the inerting process and dry the tank out to the final spec. One of two
separate sources can be used to supply nitrogen; the preferred method is to truck in liquid
nitrogen and warm it to a gas before injecting it in the tank. An altemative to liquid nitrogen
are membrane units which extract the nitrogen from the air. The nitrogen is injected in the
tank though the bottom fill line, a temporary hose run up the side of the tank and connected
at the top. Nitrogen is initially injected at an approximate rate of 7OCMM to create a piston
effect. When the nitrogen level has filled 25% of the tank the rate shall be increased to
125CMM. As nitrogen has a higher density than air it will settle and fill the tank from a
bottom to top motion if no turbulence is introduced. The nitrogen will then fill the tank and the
dome space. The nitrogen will then spill over the inner tank and down into the annular
space. The nitrogen will displace the air in the annular space as the nitrogen travels through
the perlite The nitrogen will then travel thrauigh the annular purge ring and thraugh the
bottom insulation layers.
Drying and inerting of the bottom inculation to the point at which it etarte to stabilice. The
bottom insulation area not held to dew point and O2 concentration levels achieved by the
rest of the tank.
Typical maximum dew point and 02 concentration levels for the inner tank and annular
space are -20deg C and 4%.

Consttution Environmental Convo! Plan1.0 Introduction
This construction Method Statement (CMS) has been developed to assist with the
environmental assessment of works.
This CMS describes the methods and systems used to construct the temporary working
platforms within the marine environment.
Each of the platforms has unique and sensitive geological foundations which strongly govern
the construction techniques which can be employed. The construction operations have been
divided into three stages to give a clear explanation of each independent construction
method.
The design profiles and construction methodologies have been jointly developed with the
geo-technical engineers and construction team thus ensuring there is no de-stabilisation of
the surrounding marine sediments.

construction activities, (whichever is the earlier). As mentioned in Section 5.2.1,
subcontractors will be expected to perform field inspections every day in their work areas,
their Satelite Accumulation Areas (SAA), their fabrication workshops, and their vehicle
maintenance workshops.
The project monitoring and inspection program will identify the following regimes:
‘+ Daily inspections (usually visual inspections) (see Exhibit 3);
Weekly inspections (utilise inspection checklists);
Monthly inspections (reports to be produced);
‘Semi-annual inspection/aucit (reports to be produced); and
Monitoring as and when needed.

‘Noise and Vibration Management Pian1 SCOPE
‘The purpose of this Noise and Vibration Management Plan is to detail the Plan objective,
legislative setting, performance criteria and objectives, implementation, monitoring,
responsibilities, scheduling, reporting and auditing, and corrective actions for the control and
mitigation of adverse noise and vibration impacts and to provide controlled and coordinated
response to noise and vibration during the construction and commissioning phases of the
Project This plan applies to the Bechtel scope of work an Curtis Istand
2 PLAN OBJECTIVE
The management objectives of this Plan are to provide control strategies in accordance with
performance criteria for specified acceptable levels of environmental harm. This Plan is
organised to outline potentially affected environmental values, potential impacts on
environmental values, mitigation strategies, relevant monitoring together with appropriate
indicators and performance criteria, reporting requirements and, if an undesirable impact or
unforeseen level of impact occurs, the appropriete corrective actions available.
The aims of this Plan are to provide:
© Commitments to practical and achievable strategies and design standards for the
management of the Queensland Curtis Liquefied Natural Gas (QCLNG) Project to comply
with environmental requirements;
‘+ An integrated plan for control of impacts;
‘+ Local, State and Commonwealth authorities, stakeholders and Queensland Gas Company
(QGC) with a common focus for approvals conditions and compliance with policies and
conditions.
This Plan addresses the potential noise impacts associated with construction activities of the
QCLNG project, provides guidance for mitigation of potential impacts and should be read in
conjunction with the entire Construction Environmental Control Plan (CECP) and other relevant
environmental management plans and procedures for the Project
3 PROJECT BACKGROUND
3.1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
QGC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BG Group plc, plans to develop a world-scale, integrated
liquefied natural gas project in Queensland, known as the QCLNG Project. The Project will be
one of Australia’s largest capital projects and will supply up to 12 million tonnes of LNG per
annum.

‘Noise and Vibration Management PianIhe QCLNG Project consists of the following components:
‘+ Coal seam gas (CSG) field development and supporting infrastructure in the Surat Basin
(Gas Field Component) including the management of Associated Water produced:
‘+ Anetwork of underground pipelines, including gas and water collection pipelines in the Gas
Field Component, and a 340 km underground gas transmission pipeline from the Gas Field
to an LNG Facility (Pipeline Component),
‘+ A gas liquefaction facility on Curtis Island, adjacent to Gladstone, initially comprising two
processing units, or “trains”, to be followed by a third train. This component also includes an
export jetty and other supporting infrastructure (LNG Component);
‘+ Access channels for shipping vessels (Swing Basin and Channel); and
+ LNG shipping operations to load the LNG and export it to global markets (Shipping
Operations).
For a full description of the Project refer to the QCLNG draft and supplementary Environmental
Impact Statements (EIS), which can be accessed online at www.acing.com.au,
3.4.4 LNG Camponent
The QCLNG Facility at Curtis Island encompasses approximately 275 hectare (ha) above
highest astronomical tide (HAT) with an additional indicative wet lease area (below HAT) of
approximately 83 ha. Within the QCLNG Facility, the plant onshore construction footprint (above
HAT) will occupy approximately 140 ha, with additional disturbance wilhin the QCLNG Facilily
boundary as required for spoil disposal areas, sediment control structures, access and fire
control roads, fencing and other minor works. Some of this will include intertidal and marine
facilities, All construction works will occur within the QCLNG Facility boundary
3.2 ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES
‘The QCLNG Project EIS indicated that the nearest noise sensitive receptor to Curtis Island was
located at Tide Island, approximately 5kms from the QCLNG Plant. The noise assessment
predictions for construction of the LNG plant indicated that noise levels from weekend
construction activities during calm weather conditions would potentially exceed the criterion
level by 2dB(A). However, this was considered to not be a significant impact on the sensitive
receivers, as 2 dB (A) increase in noise levels would not be detected by human beings. The
noise and vibration chapter of the EIS tor the LNG Plant stated that construction is not expected
to cause a significant noise impact. Exhibit 1 is a copy of the noise contour predictions for noise
during construction of the QCLNG Faxility
4 LEGISLATIVE SETTING
The applicable legislation and standards the project will adhere by are listed below:
‘+ Environmental Protection Act 1994;
‘+ Environmental Protection (Noise) Policy 2008 (Noise EPP);
‘+ Environmental Protection Regulation 2008;
‘+ Workplace Health and Safety Noise Code of Practice 2004 (Queensland); and
Eloctonic documents, once pinta, are non-contoled and may become outdated.

5 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA AND OBJECTIVES
5.1 PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
No Beesédence of prc! spina nea tele al salve Cae be bin n Eni 25
anc
‘+ Low frequency noise from the LNG plant is NOT considered to be a nuisance if monitoring
shows that noise emissions do not exceed the following limits:
© 50 dB(2) measured inside the noise sensitive place or commercial place; and
© The difference between the internal A-weighted and Z-weighted noise levels is no
greater than 15 dB.
6 IMPLEMENTATION
6.1 NOISE MITIGATION
The following management measures will be implemented during construction in order to meet
the objectives of this plan:
‘+ Limit construction work at night time where practicable;
‘+ Limit machinery and vehicle movements to defined work areas and designated roads;
+ Schedule short-term high noise activities (including but not limited to pile driving, line
blowing, plant start-ups and associated upsets) to reduce noise nuisance and intrusion,
where practicable;
‘+ Fit pneumatic tools operated on the mainiand with an air exhaust port silencer;
‘+ Conduct pile driving only during daytime hours as practicable;
‘+ Monitor wildlife in the vicinity of pile driving and employ soft start or other means to lessen
impacts. Where practicable, construction works will be undertaken during daylight hours
(noting that night-works may be required for special activities and for schedule makeup as
required);
‘+ Transport routes suitable for construction traffic will be used:
‘+ Construction vehicles and equipment to be kept in good repair including mufflers and
equipment covers;
‘+ Where practical low noise specification plant and equipment will be used;
‘+ When possible, noise minimising constructon methods will be implemented to limit noise
generation sources (e.g. as reversing alarms) in noise sensitive areas;
‘+ Barge and ferry muffiers and engines to be well maintained to minimise radiated noise
levels; and
Mitigation measures will be tailored during planning for each new phase of QCLNG facility
construction to match site-specific conditions.

(eg., construction workers and operators) will be conducted in accordance with the project
Health, Safety, Security and Environmental (HSSE) Execution Plan (25566-100-G01-GHX-
00001),
6.2 COMMUNITY NOTIFICATION
QGC, and as part of the overall noise mitigation strategy will keep residents, local officials and
businesses closest to the work site informed of the period of noise impact and the mitigation
methods to be used
7 MONITORING
Noise monitoring may be required in response to complaints. Complaints will be referred to
QGC for follow up and revision.
Community complaints about nuisance noise/ibration conditions will be referred to QGC for
follow up and resolution. To the extent feasible, specific mitigation measures and construction
methods will be adjusted to address local concems
Due to the nature of noise propagation and perception, it will be almost impossible to
differentiate QCLNG noise from other noise sources at the sensitive receptor. It will be possible
that the noise complaint is due to other sources outside QCLNG's property.
The project may monitor specific fence line noise levels and compare with predicted levels using
noise modelling. If the monitored levels at fence line exceed the predicted levels, the project will
respond promptly to indentify the major noise source and develop mitigations measures to the
extent feasible
7.4 MONITORING
+ Monitoring and subsequent analysis will provide:
© Determination of LAeq,15 mins at the noise sensitive and specific location on the
Project fence line;
© Narrow band analycic to determine the noice opeotrum at the noice coneitive place or
‘commercial place;
The level and frequency of occurrence cf impulsive or tonal neise;
Taking measurements of the low frequency noise below 200 Hz;
‘Atmospheric conditions including temperature, wind speed and direction; and
Location, date and time or recording;
+ When requested by the administering authority (i.e., DERM), noise monitoring undertaken
within @ reasonable and practicable timeframe in order to investigate any complaint (referred
to QGC for follow up and resolution) of environmental nuisance at any sensitive place or
commercial place:
© Results must be notified within 14 days to the administering authority (DERM) following
completion of monitoring;
