Australia`s resources industry is going from strength to strength, with billions of dollars of planned new projects in the short to medium term placing tremendous strain on the country`s engineering resources.
The
Engineering Australia's NEW Resources Boom 2011 forum will bring together the key players in the sector to discuss some of the growing pains of such buoyant times, and strategies to put in place to meet the challenge of unprecedented demand for engineering services.
Just some of the topics that will be discussed at this two day event:
- Partnering for new projects
- Alliance contracting developments
- Utilisation of modular construction techniques
- Remote construction challenges
- Port expansions & offshore supply bases
- Workforce availability, retention, salary trends, mobility and coordination
- Tendering and project margins
- Role for medium size fabricators and engineering firms in meeting project demand
