CCC has successfully maintained its position as one of the leaders in the Engineering & Construction Industry by allowing our executives and managers the freedom to innovate both externally and internally. I am confident that the CCC culture of innovation will remain one of the pillars of our success. CCC has innovated internally by creating better operational systems, IT systems, construction tools, robust construction methodology and advanced plant construction equipment (new procurement policies, leaner overheads and so on). In addition, we have adopted the latest project management techniques in order to become more efficient and to always be ahead of our competitors. CCC has innovated externally by expanding into new geographical areas ahead of others (Africa, the CIS and Asia) and into new construction lines ahead of our competition (oil and gas, airports and metros). I ask all CCC management to encourage this culture of innovation and to grant their subordinates the flexibility, the necessary time and resources for them to help nurture this positive trend towards innovation. You never know, in this changing world around us, a fresh graduate with very little experience may come up with an innovative idea that could change both CCC and the world!

Innovation Is a Journey That Never Ends

Innovation is the application of new solutions that meet new requirements, inarticulate needs, or existing marketing needs (Wikipedia). Many confuse innovation to be strictly in the realm of R&D and producing new patents. It is not. It lies in everyones job and when institutionalized correctly becomes a guiding organizational mission. At CCC we have been at the forefront of encouraging innovation into our processes. And yes it is never easy. We get internal resistance and we constantly suffer frictions over turfs, jurisdiction and not least budgets. We do well with innovation at CCC because of many factors:

Knowledge Management Communities of Practice, and the Bulletin are testament to this. Lessons Learned forums are also a great means of keeping Innovation high on the visibility and agendas of our top executives. For one thing, we still need to increase the food for thought factor within our ranks. Human Resources should come up with new ways of sponsoring and sending our promising employees on more educational trips and leading edge conferences. This has been a key success factor of CCCs Information Systems Department, in a way CCCs Navy. Join the Navy and see the World. In our context, we tag to the tail end of the statement .and bring the best ideas back to CCC. The budget keepers as usual are not going to like this one! Unfortunately they do not weigh in the enormous benefits. ISD has been ranking first in internal service satisfaction. We are proud of this position fuelled by innovation. institutionalize innovation and its culture within CCC further. It needs an address and some known reliable mechanism. We are at near perfect storm results not cultural. Creating this is quite a challenge in a tense demanding environment of project schedules and budgets and I do not claim to have an answer to this wide topic as yet but when we do, then we will decrease frictions, resistance to change and reap even better results. Loyal Readers, this issue is simply a stock-taking of where we are with innovation and not where we could be. I simply lit a fuse and invite those who have some thoughts on this to share and write us. Enjoy another fine issue put together by your colleagues from around the globe.
We have the moral support of our top executives. Many of the initiatives we launch target catalysing innovation internally. Knowledge Management and Sustainability are prime examples of this. We get immensely exposed to international and leading client requirements as crafted by designers who by definition keep pushing new ideas to their clients, requiring new and innovative methods for deliveries. Our Estimation Department keep us challenged to find optimal solutions that are well balanced between requirement and cost consciousness. We have good channels for disseminating newly acquired knowledge. The Information Systems Department,

BIM - From Now On

BIM is useless! BIM is just a collection of colourful pictures! BIM is too difficult to understand! All true, if you are among the constantly decreasing number of construction professionals who dont get the picture. Of course there are the highly trained specialists who can bore anyone with details and what this marvelous tool can do. But in CCC and certainly on the Nile Corniche Project (Egypt), we approach it from a very different angle.

The huge number of clashes that have been so easily resolved before the physical work progressed has not been realized by most, but when measured against what could have been faced as potential problems, gives the real benefits. Any project management team can easily understand the need for less problems, especially those solved at source.

Internal Coordination with BIM
One of our simple aims is to use this tool to very simply show some of our very able but short sighted MEP subcontractor staff where problems exist. These can be in the form of clashes with and between anything, for example, between an MEP service and ceiling or between one MEP service and the next. This unbelievably common problem that befalls all of us has been a major issue on the Nile Corniche Project. This is due to very low floor to floor heights that leave very little room to fit huge amounts of MEP services and make them work according to code, best design and installation practice and so on. If we allow for the usual who cares if its 50mm out or no problem, well just shift it left a little bit, no one will know (wink wink, I buy you lunch, Moallem), then we will have real problems and we wont know that we have a time bomb until it is too late. These kinds of problems can be rather easily resolved by a few operations using standard BIM tools that reveal all the issues. This will usually be in the form of the beautiful coloured pictures that BIM is famous for. On the Nile Corniche Project we have perfected this art by selling this simple idea firstly to very resistant and uncooperative disbelievers but lo and behold, they are now our best customers. We even provide snapshots of problem areas that we are certain now hang as wall decorations in
For the more scientific explanations for the workings of clash detection, a simple chart describes the process. Please see the diagram showing the workflow as used on the Nile Corniche Project. Another example of the very useful things that BIM can provide and that we have utilized here are procurement and QS based items such as redefinition of packages, extraction of scope, take offs, re-measurements, denoting areas of specialist works and demarcation of any particular zone/area/type of work. If and when the procurement and QS teams ask nicely, BIM has been used to very quickly provide these. This is due to the way that the BIM models
NCP-BIM/composite/clash detection work flow

BIM - From Now On
There is a proviso that is however required from the start, to allow this to take place. This is the WBS, or Work Breakdown Structure. This loosely defines the way that the BIM activities are set up for each project at the start, in that all future requirements are laid down at the start so that at some point in the future, anyone can ask for something and the response can be easily provided, much like planning for a camping trip and taking the correct items before the start of the journey. In this day and age, this is not a difficult task as we do not need to reinvent the wheel. The WBS on the NCP was set up quite simply and has allowed most of the procurement and QS data requirements to be retrieved very easily. What used to take days or weeks to do (and still does, in some remote parts of CCC ) has been demonstrated time and again here on the NCP to be extracted in hours. Benefits realized are, for example, preparing scope and details/ data for subcontractor packages, measurements for site works for payment purposes, take offs for quantifications and checks, very quick BoQ / Dwg comparisons, 3D visualization of item/s if required and many other day-to-day activities that have been eased by BIM. We dont often realize just how much we now take it for granted that BIM is used for these mundane things until we have to go back to the Dark Ages again. In the engineering field, BIM has an immediate role. The strengths that are inherent in BIM allow us to countercheck reinforcement in RC elements via ratios and other means, define types of structural elements and where they exist and provide, again, clash analysis for structure to structure, structure to architectural issues where and when needed. Even concrete volumes for casting can be so easily derived. The daily interaction and resultant progress between the teams is yet again further evidence of the real usefulness of BIM. For planning, BIM has become a backbone of data and backup. As the original BoQ was developed from the initial BIM exercises and models, the base programmes derived their database from these. This is one area that thorough integration and interaction between the two disciplines would benefit any project tremendously. There is much still to learn and develop but it is crystal clear that from the early form of a programme until full recording and progress charting of the project, BIM can play a pivotal role in planning. When the other exotic capabilities of BIM are introduced and utilized, such as 4D and 5D tools that can combine
Finally, we come to the use and usefulness of BIM in management. At the NCP, we have the added bonus of an enlightened client who has requested that BIM and BIM related applications be at the forefront of the project. This has resulted in CCC BIM and BIM NCP having to learn to run, very fast, straight after learning how to walk, so to speak. The mistakes and lessons learnt have aided our understanding and appreciation of a set of building tools that, if understood, harnessed and used correctly, will deliver us into the next millennia. Why should we not embrace what we already have and take it just that little bit further to see really what can be achieved. As a footnote, a presentation was developed using BIM lately, where we had to challenge and fight for our contractual rights and reinforce our project status/position. The presentation of 3D images extracted from existing data already developed in the course of BIM work on the NCP allowed us to show, very clearly, to the client and his team exactly the issues facing us all. Nothing speaks or tells a better story than a picture. BIM gave us a lot more than a set of colourful pictures.

time, cost, and quantity parameters, the skys the limit as to what can be tracked, checked, monitored, assessed, recorded and so on. At the NCP, however, these particular tools were not understood nor developed sufficiently as these were not part of the all-important WBS at the outset of the project. Notwithstanding this, we still pressed on and developed the database to enable progress to be demonstrated by BIM via real time models, albeit not as brilliantly as we would have liked. There is, however, no doubting the massive potential of these applications.

Computer Simulation of Construction Processes

The knowledge gained through simulation reduces the risk associated with important decision making in real life. As construction projects become large, complex and tough to manage using traditional techniques, computer simulation can be used effectively to design and analyze construction processes regardless of the complexity or size. Computer simulation models can be built to characterize the construction activities of a scope of work ranging from a full blown large and complex project to a sub-area of an industrial facility or to a floor or room of a building. Using simulation, engineers can test out different construction scenarios, estimate resource utilization and find bottlenecks, and forecast time and cost requirements without having to go on site. At CCC we have been using computer based modeling and simulation since 2005 for schedule validation, low level resource planning, performance improvement, process optimization, look ahead scheduling, assessing direct and indirect impact of employer changes (delay and disruption, lost productivity and rework) and quantification and justification of claims. To achieve this, we have developed several simulators for different construction operations. Many insights have been deduced from developing and implementing the simulators through capturing the effect of resource interaction (i.e. queuing, equipment capacity mismatches and so on) on productivity. All our simulators were developed in collaboration with experts from the relevant fields, mainly through collaboration with the CCC Knowledge Management Communities of Practice for each discipline.

It integrates directly with C3D, enabling C3D users to run simulations on spatial volumes, contained objects and associated activities seamlessly. Pipeline construction: The pipeline project construction simulator was built in collaboration with IPLOCA members as part of the Novel Construction Initiative. The aim behind this simulator is to aid in construction cost reduction, increasing pipe laying speed and improving predictability of outcomes for onshore pipeline projects. Material Forward Planning: material forward planning is a simulation exercise to validate constructability of a project construction schedule by considering the piping material availability constraints. It allows the detection of problems early on in Material Delivery and Usability vs. Material Requirements, Purchase Orders and Shipping, Engineering Modeling and Material Take-Off, and Adequacy of site facilities.

Pipeline: special logistic tracking services, barcoding, tagging, handhelds reading, workflows between ports and dump yards, GIS services, pipe-book creation, automated alignment sheet as-built creation.
Project preparation
Before a project commences, RASO holds behind-the-scenes meetings with project management, clients and other third parties to discover and agree upon the requirements, deliverables and EDI (Electronic Data Interface). This leads to the creation of the projects IT plan and development of utilities and plans for data exchange with the partners.
Visual Controls
The use of C3D in visual controls has made RASO popular among project management, as they prioritize lean construction methodologies and visualization of project history and look ahead. With each additional success story, the lean approach is becoming standard in projects. Guided by weekly work orders, teams from office, services, fabshops and site engage only with open fronts, priorities and in-sequence jobs, resulting in jumps in productivity. In addition, visual representation of the work scope significantly enhances direct supervision onsite. Visualization of feasibility has also helped management in studies and claims, where the impact on construction activities from change orders, various engineering drawings or procurement deliveries can be clearly demonstrated.
Deployment & Support

Standardized levels of support improve the scheduling of system implementation, site visits and audits, and this systematic approach results in a more comprehensive monitoring of project IT. During mobilization, RASO works closely with project staff, and other support units such as CS, to create logistical plans that translate business rules to workflows and procedures. The Controls Departments setup at this stage includes the following: Document control: correspondence log, transmittal tracking, electronic distribution, electronic filing, register building, document deliverable progress tracking, DCG room / vault setup. QC & Certification: scope creation, inspection progress, AFI tracking, certification take-over, system dossiers workflow, punchlist tracking. Procurement & Logistics: supply chain management workflow, freight forwarding, material forward planning and forecasting, storage feasibility study, warehousing and material management.

With its site experience and specialisation in all control topics, RASO is an ideal source for knowledge transfer. Training and orientation sessions are conducted internally for automation engineers, while RASO also visits MOA to train future Controls Managers. When a project is understaffed or overwhelmed, RASO provides a temporary source of controls support. Positions in IT, engineering, material control, document control, certification and even control management have been filled by RASO.
The specialised staff provide valuable coverage, whether it be for deployment, training of new systems, or consultation on control topics.
Centralization of Automation
Since its founding in 2007, RASO has evolved into a dynamic base for automation and control engineers, who benefit from a common home, aligned goals and sustained supervision. The vision for a hub to provide development programmes, training, reference documents and consultancy has been realized. At the core of the RASO community is the spirit of collaboration and knowledge sharing based on a diversity of on-site experiences. RASO is also a key partner for the systems

How Sustainability Drives Innovation in an Organization

The purpose of this article is to show how sustainability can be a key driver of innovation within an organization. The main arguments were drawn from Why Sustainability Is Now the Key Driver of Innovation (Harvard Business Review, 2009), How Innovation Supports Sustainability (Dow Corning Corporation, 2004) and Sustainability 2.0-Using sustainability to drive business innovation and growth (Deloitte Review, 2012). Contrary to what many company executives believe that sustainability jeopardizes revenues, disrupts the corporate budget and fails to payback fast, becoming more environmentfriendly can in fact improve profits and reduce costs and, for this reason sustainability ought to be a yardstick for innovation. Companies that think that sustainability does not offer a competitive advantage and has no added value during this recession, treat the need to be sustainable as corporate social responsibility detached from business targets. In reality, sustainability is the instigator of organizational, technological and operational innovation; it also helps transforming ideas into valuable solutions. These solutions aim to improve the quality of work and lifestyle for clients and, consequently, society at large. Companies try to develop integrated measures across all their industrial divisions, which facilitate the work of professionals. By striving to be more environment-friendly companies minimize the resources they use and as a result, expenditure goes down. The pursuit of sustainability encourages companies to develop new businesses. This is exactly what corporate innovation entails; therefore sustainability is correctly considered the threshold of innovation. Progress is facilitated through creativity and innovation, and this means that sustainable organizations will prevail and transform the current situation. By treating sustainability as todays objective, those who act fast will develop competencies which will offer them a powerful competitive advantage. In order to yield this competitive advantage it is necessary for organizations to redefine their Business Models-ProductsTechnologies-Processes. The first milestone that aspiring sustainable companies strive for is following environmental regulations. The key element in this is to transform compliance with rules into an opportunity for innovation. Companies willing to comply with stringent regulations instead of adhering to the lowest standards are strategically fostering innovation. Because through concentrating on evolving norms companies enhance their creativity by experimenting with the applications of sustainable processes, technologies and materials. Innovation is in principle powered by sustainability concerns and targets. Sustainability facilitates innovation by revealing the limitations regarding the use of resources such as energy, water, materials etc. The goal to use natural resources in a responsible way and minimize the generation of waste, will lead companies to the development of innovative products and services. Sustainability driven innovation requires that business operations and process are improved to become more efficient, while the ultimate goal is to reduce expenditure and waste. By utilizing regular sustainability related tools such as energy management, carbon footprint analysis, product life cycle assessment etc. companies understand how to increase their energy efficiency throughout their operations. Provided companies are willing to redesign their operations, to consume less energy/water, to reduce emissions and produce less waste, then a significant opportunity to foster sustainability driven innovation has surfaced. This is mainly accomplished by concentrating on:

FEATURE
Developing sustainable sources of raw materials and components. Intensifying the use of renewable energy such as solar and wind. Investigating innovative uses for returned materials.
Multinational corporations striving for sustainability try to treat the natural resources responsibly. As such they invest in technological developments and introduce sustainable practices into their operations; for example some companies in response to the publics concern regarding the destruction of forests have been exploring new methods for the cultivation of agricultural products. Environmental concerns, rigorous government policies, increased pressure from NGOs and changing consumer expectations are undoubtedly forcing businesses to change their mindset. Realizing that change is unavoidable, companies are seriously adopting sustainability objectives and reconsidering the status-quo. The successful transition will call for determined leadership from top management combined with motivated, skillful workforce who will fulfill the set targets.

Knowledge Management Departments Role to Help Innovation

Innovation takes place when an organization learns to do something new that it did not know how to do before and then proceeds to do it in a sustained way. Three points emerge from this definition: innovation is closely connected to organizational learning; innovation can be planned, and also should have a contextual basis. The innovation process doesnt stop at creating a new idea. The process has a life cycle that starts with setting up the right environment to generate ideas, ideas selection, putting the right team and resources, launching a change management plan, measuring the value, gathering lessons learned and knowledge sharing corporate-wide. Innovation shouldnt be confused with invention, i.e., creation of something new. The act of innovation does not necessarily involve creation; it can simply involve the introduction of changes which have been previously developed elsewhere. Innovation isnt only related to products. Increasingly, organizations are seeking innovation in their work processes, services and business models. So, every organization requires innovation as a core competence. It is important to note, however, that a new idea or service is innovative only if it provides the organization with competitive advantage. In construction, most innovations were focused on construction materials not construction work processes or services. This is changing. Several innovative processes are currently implemented in construction. Some examples include:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Innovation is clearly a dynamic process. What was considered to be innovative many years ago is now obsolete. Hence, successful organizations should always strive to adopt new innovations that will enable them to retain their competitive advantage. CCC executives have recognized the importance of innovation. In the year 2008, the Knowledge Management Department was established not only to gather lessons learned and share knowledge across the organization but also to create the environment for CCC staff to share innovative ideas and promote their implementation. Moreover, CCC President (Engineering & Construction) Samer Khoury places innovation among his top strategic initiatives. The following is a quote from his message at the beginning of this year to senior executives on the strategic direction of CCC: CCC, as the leader in the Arab world in engineering and construction activities, has to innovate and come up with new ideas. We need to create a platform whereby all CCC employees can contribute ideas and we should allow for company funds to develop these ideas. It is important to get different kinds of people involved (Wisdom of the Crowds). The world is rapidly changing and our markets are changing with it. We have to look at new ways of operating and adapting to these changes or we will be left behind. We would like to highlight in the remainder of this article how the Knowledge Management Department activities help in establishing a more efficient innovation process. A main objective is to reduce the wasting of time by CCC staff in re-inventing the wheel by gathering existing best practices and lessons learned then sharing them in Fanous, the knowledge management portal. Through the different collaboration features in Fanous (posting, commenting, chatting, blogging and e-mail sharing) CCC staff can learn what worked and what didnt. Equally important is the fact that they would know the context in which the

impact on the organization and perceived value by the client. For example, our site management system, namely, Talisman, is a breakthrough innovation for CCC. When Talisman was introduced, different work key processes were enhanced (e.g. material management, scope management, progress measurement, welding quality control and so on). Furthermore, our clients do recognize the value of the Talisman system including our novel implementation of the system.

idea was implemented. The goal is to improve current practices through innovative thinking (Wisdom of the Crowds). A recent example of a successful implementation is the contribution by the Qatar Foundation of Islamic Studies Project (ISP) concerning sprayed concrete. http://km.moa.gr.ccc/display/ knowledgemanagement001/Sprayed+Concrete. On the other hand, some members shared cases where implementation of a technology didnt work. An example of such a case is the discussion on the use of ground penetration radars for utility detection. http://km.moa.gr.ccc/display/ knowledgemanagement002/Underground+Object +and+Surface+Detection+Using+Gr ound+Penetration+Radars This discussion brought to our attention the substantial economic advantage, in some cases, of detecting utility locations from the ground in order to minimize hand excavation. So, new alternative technologies are currently being evaluated taking into consideration the challenges presented. To reinforce this collaborative behaviour, the KM Department acknowledged some of the top contributors by featuring them in the KM monthly newsletter. Moreover, we established recently Figure 2: Chatting with Members a point system called Karma where members earn points for KM Department staff will follow-up with SMEs to their contributions (e.g. articles and comments) ensure that the question is answered timely. as well as feedback by other members on their contributions.

News from the Komo Airfield Project

Papua New Guinea
The Landing of the Antonov
Looking back in time when the project started in late 2009 and thinking of the nature of the challenges that the project was facing, we realize that after three years and nearing completion, the project still faces the same challenges. The weather is still the prime factor that has been a real challenge to construction and the cause of slowing down progress. The other challenge is handling the community around the airfield. The project had to deal with the surrounding communities and villages with issues every day brought up to the attention of the Community Affairs Department that I would and the good times that we all had together in a one of a kind life experience in Komo, PNG.
HSE Challenges
Over the life of the Komo Airfield Project the HSE Department has faced many challenges from the size and the scope of the project and the remote location of the site, to logistics, environmental and cultural, just to name a few. Logistically everything we have on the project from a toothpick to the largest piece equipment needs to be trucked in over the 800km from Lae on the Highlands Highway to here in the Southern Highlands in Hela Provence, over some of the most treacherous roads and mountains on the face of the earth. The convoys have accumulated over three million kilometres with no major accidents which is an incredible achievement. The runway itself will be 3.2km long and 45 meters wide and will be the longest runway in PNG. Its main purpose is to accommodate the Antonov AN 124 to bring in equipment and plant for the construction of the Hides Conditioning Plant that will be 22km from the Komo Airfield. Along with the construction of the airfield we have also constructed the airport terminal, the fire station, the power generation station and all the outlying support buildings as well as the fuel storage and distribution facility for aircraft and ground support equipment and the radar and communications equipment. At the high point of the project we employed approximately 2,200 personnel, consisting of 37 different nationalities from all over the world as well as the local tribes and clans from the Southern Highlands region and the countless languages and dialects spoken here. One clan from one side of the airfield may speak a totally different dialect from a clan on the other side of the airfield. Training presented its own unique challenges. There was a commitment made before the project began that we would employ and train personnel from the local community and indoctrinate and educate them in the HSE culture and safety regulations along with craft skills required, including heavy equipment, vehicle and machinery operations, along with carpentry, plumbing, electrical and steel fixers just to name a few. Students are given a two day HSE Basic Induction Course covering the basic safety culture (IIF- Incident Injury Free), PPE, Working at Heights (theory and practice), Manual

say handled them professionally. Its worth mentioning that the Komo community population increased tenfold over the last three years drawn by the availability of jobs. The third challenge has been the lack of law and order enforcement by the government. Exxon and MCJV struggled very hard to improve and increase the presence of any kind of authority to keep the peace. By the second half of last year Exxon succeeded in bringing additional units of the Mobile Squad to patrol the airfield and the Komo area. Even though we had all these challenges to deal with, we made it through successfully with great achievements and the project is now in its final chapter which is The Landing of the Antonov. After that, we will all head in different directions to other projects remembering the hard times

As we approach a major milestone of 5 Million Man Hours without a (LTI) Lost Time Injury, it stands as a testament to the commitment of the workforce and project management to ensure that at the end of the day We All Go Home with No Harm.
Community Affairs
The Project is running very smoothly from the point of view of the Community Affairs Department. We have accomplished a huge amount of understanding within the community hence the fact that we are currently enjoying a very peaceful time. We have managed to resolve all major issues between the local community and MCJV, leaving us only to deal with a day to day incident basis. This couldnt have come at a better time as we now have to put our full focus and concentration on demobilization.
Handling (theory and practice) and Line of Fire Awareness. The training programmes for the local personnel are conducted by PNG nationals and local trainers and are tailored for the level of literacy of the workforce. We utilize pictorial images as they are easier for the workforce to comprehend and their attention span tends to be shorter than would be expected. To date we have worked over 14.7 million project man hours and have had over 44,000 personnel go through the Training Center for 171,147 training man hours conducted. That is a combination of HSE, Craft and Certified training conducted for the project. Along with the above training, the project has conducted training for the local community and schools on road safety, traffic control, hazards of heavy equipment and barricading. Colouring books and posters were made up and given to the kids in the schools to educate them about the many hazards on the roads. One of the main issues that we have to deal with on site is man-machine interface. With over 600 pieces of plant and equipment on the project there is a high potential for injury or incident. HSE has implemented a no boots on ground policy for the equipment operating areas. And those personnel that must be in the equipment operations areas must first attend the Man Machine Interface training: they must keep a minimum of 10m from all equipment (20m from excavators) and they must carry a 3m pole with a marker flag on top to help ensure that they are visible to the equipment operators.

This Is How We Do It
Papua New Guinea
Introduction
Welding which is a fabrication or sculptural process that joins materials, usually metals or thermosetting, by causing coalescence. This is often done by melting the work-pieces and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to become a strong joint, with pressure sometimes used in conjunction with heat, or by itself, to produce the weld. This is in contrast with soldering and brazing, which involve melting a lower-melting-point material between the work-pieces to form a bond between them, without melting the workpieces.
AREa NEWS
Facts
Weather was one of our greatest challenges in PNG. The wet and dry seasons are not as black and white as elsewhere in the world. In practice, for most places the wet just means it is more likely to rain, the dry that its less likely. Temperatures rarely get too hot but the humidity is always high and can be oppressing. Rainfall is generally heavy but varies greatly. In dry, often dusty Port Moresby, the annual rainfall is about 1000mm.
Welders qualification in PNGLNG (WQT) is implemented as per ASME Sec. IX. We have in the project several types of pipe materials and we have many WPS covering the welding type of these materials. We are proud to say that our 186 welders working in PNG have passed the ASME test. Zero repairs is a ceremony conducted every month for our welders attended by all our top management, CJJV and the company to provide an incentive and quality certificates to encourage and inspire the welders. This highly motivates the workers giving them a chance to get recognition and they fiercely compete to achieve the zero repairs target. Site surveillance is one of the master keys in PNGLNG. Tool box talks are conducted every month to charge hands, foremen, supervisors and engineers; in response, each one mentioned previously passes the message to the welders through daily tool box talks which in return assists to illuminate the back log for the joints requiring RT. All the above is well monitored through our QC inspectors and engineers.
Achievement
The Feed Gas Line holds the record of less than 0.06% repair which shows how PNGLNG staff are pushing the envelope to a whole new level of SAFETY, QUALITY and PROGRESS.

Qatar
The project is located in Ras Laffan Industrial City in the north of Qatar and is a highly complex gas processing facility. The project started in September 2011 and CCCs scope involves the construction of two process trains, the process buildings and the permanent workshop, administration building as well as the permanent stores of the plant. The operator is Ras Gas and the main EPC contractor is JGC. The project is currently at its peak with manpower of 11,000 strong. It has been set up from the get go with an incident and injury free paradigm resulting in more than 29 million manhours all of which have been worked without sustaining a lost time injury. Currently the project is half complete and Train 1 will come on stream in early 2014, with Train 2 following later that year. Together they will supply around 2 billion standard cubic feet per day of sales gas. Much of this production will be directed to the domestic market in Qatar to fuel the power and water sector helping to meet the energy demand for the booming countrys development. The project is a very high profile one and the country banks a lot on its safe, timely and quality completion to which CCC so far has upheld its commitments. High level CCC executives visited the project on 8 June and were pleased with the safe production that is being delivered.

CCC CSR Egypts continued commitment towards developing and improving local marginalized communities in Egypt led the team to an opportunity to really impact peoples lives and futures. With the Saudi Embassy Project (SEP) wrapping up, the chance to make use of the projects computers instead of getting rid of them was too good to pass up. In comes Alwan wa Awtar. Nestled in the very heart of the community they serve, this ever-growing NGO in the Hadaba el Wosta area up in Mokattam, combines art and non-formal education to help children and young adults who have little or no access to after-school activities, let alone visual and performing arts, to learn and develop their thinking skills and eventually lead them to brighter futures. Having been built by means of donations, Alwan wa Awtars weak computer capacity was not meeting the NGOs needs. Computers were barely functional and could only be used to play very simple 10-year-old games and conduct
very minimal research. CCC CSR Egypt with the help of SEP donated 15 computers to Alwan wa Awtars library to maximize its benefit in the Hadaba community. With this simple donation, the hundreds of children and young adults that go through the NGOs library every year will now finally be able to add the very important tool of computer skills to their ever growing and enriched creative and intellectual abilities.

Career Days in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia
CCC Saudi Arabia participated in many social activities during the first six months of 2013 as part of its CSR commitments. The greatest attention was accorded to the provision of job opportunities for graduates of Saudi universities and colleges, and the general public (both men and women and those with special needs). This was achieved through the four following career days events:

At the College of Technology Dammam, Khobar, 7-8 April (for the training and recruitment of Saudi national graduates). At King Saud University, Riyadh, 14-15 April (for the recruitment of Saudi national graduates). At King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, Khobar, 28 April-1 May (for the recruitment of Saudi national graduates). At the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce, Madareem Hotel 5-7 May. This is a big event for the recruitment of Saudi national graduates both male and female.

There Are Only Four Jobs in the Whole World

Are You in the Right One?
The following is an article, entitled There Are Only Four Jobs in the Whole World - Are You in the Right One? by the well-known head hunter and author, Lou Adler of Lou Adler Associates. Lou Adler has very kindly given us permission to reprint the article. complex, like auditing the performance of a big system, writing code, or producing the monthly financial reports. Producers typically require training or advanced skills to be in a position to execute the process. To determine the appropriate Producer performance objectives, ask the hiring manager to define how any Lou Adler required skill is used on the job and how its success would be measured, e.g., contact 15 new customers per week and have five agree to an onsite demonstration. This is a lot better than saying the person must have 3-5 years of sales experience selling to sophisticated buyers of electro-mechanical control valves. Improvers: these people upgrade, change or make a repeatable process better. Managers are generally required to continually monitor and improve a process under their responsibility. Building, training and developing the team to implement a process is part of an Improvers role. Improvers can be individual contributors or managers of teams and projects: the key is the focus on improving an existing system, business or process. A performance objective for an Improver could be conduct a comprehensive process review of the wafer fab process to determine what it would take to improve end-toend yield by 10%. Builders: these people take an idea from scratch and convert it into something tangible. This could be creating a new business, designing a complex new product, closing a big deal, or developing a new process. Entrepreneurs, inventors, turnaround executives, deal-makers, and project managers are typical jobs that emphasize the Builder component. Ask the hiring manager what big changes, new developments, big problems or major projects the person in the new job would need to address to determine the Builder component. An example might be, lead the implementation of the new SAP supply change system over every business unit including international. This is a lot better than saying must have five years international logistics background and strong expertise with SAP. Thinkers: these people are the visionaries, strategists, intellects, and creators of the world, and every new idea starts with them. Their work covers new products, new business ideas, and
HUMAN RESOUrCES
For the past 30 years my company has been involved in creating over 2,500 different performance-based job descriptions that define the actual work a person needs to do to be considered successful. Based on preparing these performance-based job descriptions for jobs like camp counselor at the YMCA, accountants and engineers from staff to VPs, mid- and seniorlevel executives in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to construction and consumer products, I can conclude that there are only four different jobs in the whole world. Everything starts with an idea. This is the first of the four jobs the Thinkers. Builders convert these ideas into reality. This is the second job. Improvers make this reality better. This is the third job. Producers do the work over and over again, delivering quality goods and services to the companys customers in a repeatable manner. This is the fourth job. And then the process begins again with new ideas and new ways of doing business being developed as the old ones become stale. As a company grows and reaches maturity, more of the work gets done by the Producers and Improvers. However, without a culture of consistent improvement, the Producers soon take over and implementing change becomes slower and slower until it stops. Long before this the Thinkers and Builders have left for some new venture. Improvers soon follow to join their former co-workers and hire new Producers to add some order to the newly created chaos. The old Producers who arent continually evolving, learning new skills and processes, are left behind to fend for themselves. Maintaining balance across all four work types is a constant, but a necessary struggle for a company to continue to grow, adapt, and survive. Every job has a mix of all four work types dependent on the actual work involved, the scope and scale of the role, and the companys growth rate. To ensure balance and flexibility, all of these four work types should be taken into account when preparing any new performancebased job description. Heres how: Producers: these people execute or maintain a repeatable process. This can range from simple things like working on an inbound help desk and handling some transactional process, to more

different ways of doing everyday things. Ask hiring managers where the job requires thinking out-of-the-box or major problems to solve to develop the Thinker performance objectives. Develop a totally new approach for reducing water usage by 50%, is a lot better than saying Must have 5-10 years of environmental engineering background including 3-5 years of wastewater management with a knack for creative solutions.
in one or two of the work types. As you select people for new roles, its important to get this blending right. This starts by understanding the full requirements of the position, the strengths and weaknesses of others on the team, and the primary objective of the department, group or company. In the rush to hire, its easy to lose sight of this bigger picture, emphasizing skills and experience over performance and fit. This is how Builders get hired instead of Improvers and Thinkers get hired when Producers are required. While there are only four work types, hiring the wrong one is often how the wrong work gets done.

Tasiast Gold Mine, Mauritania

Appreciation Award
The Tasiast Expansion Project has received an appreciation award for achieving four million man-hours without Lost Time Injury. (The project is in Mauritania, north-west Africa, almost 350km from Nouakchott in the middle of the desert.) CCC is the biggest contractor working for Kinross in Tasiast with manpower of more than 2,000 employees (locals and expats). The client recognized the four million man-hours as a valuable milestone due to the difficulties that we are facing every day including extreme environment, language barriers, newly hired local employees who are working for the first time on such a project and dealing for the first time with HSE procedures and regulations. This achievement is the result of the hard work put in by the project employees and the project management commitment to HSE. The certificate was awarded to Project Director Hassan Moghrabi by the clients Deputy Safety Manager in a small ceremony at the project.

I have just finished my 31st Rally Paper and thank God Im still married. Yes, sometimes I wonder how a wife can bear a husband who spends endless hours reading books, making riddles, surfing on the internet and sometimes, dare I say it, during the weekends, just to come up with interesting questions. Well, I really owe my wife Jenny a great deal of patience and understanding. As a matter of fact, Jenny has been so supportive that she actually helps me on the day by being a member of the Rally Paper correcting team and among those who await participants at the stations.

CCC Rally Paper: Oman 20

Oman and Abu Dhabi Rally Paper for 2013 were as usual very successful. Every year in these areas we have so many participants including newcomers and veterans up to the point where we lost count of whos breaking whose record of number of contestants. Our congratulations to Manal Zaki Abdulrahman and Maissa Sassi for winning the Oman Rally Paper and to Rinaldi Rismana and Adam Perdana for winning the Abu Dhabi Rally Paper. Looking at the results, it seemed that it was a tough competition in both areas and I think everybody would agree with me that the fourth station played a major role in determining the winner of the competition in both areas.

The M.O. Athens Rally Paper 2013 kept its tradition by giving us new winners every year. Just till the third station it seemed that the ISD team (Andreas Karamanos and Tasos Konstantellos) were about to win easily. However, at the last station and despite the efforts that were made by the ISD team to wrap up the game on the spot, Omar Afifi and Andre Hallack from the Treasury Department took over the lead by answering correctly most of the questions at the fourth station. Once again, the excitement was contagious and everybody promised to challenge each other at the Rally Paper 2014 (that is, if I am still married).

Denis Wilson Passes the 10,000 Days Mark MILESTONES

Our colleague Denis Wilson, Senior Project Engineer (Planning) in MOA has now been with the company for more than 28 years (he originally joined CCC on 10 February 1985). In true planning fashion his fellow planners recently arranged an informal lunch to honour Denis reaching the 10,000 calendar days company milestone. Denis was presented with an art piece depicting a brass olive tree, making a reference to a tree endemic to Greece (where he and his family have put down roots for good); the tree of the Mediterranean area and the Middle East from where our company originates and centres its activity. The humble tree (with its yield of olives and olive oil which are so important for the local communities) is also the ideal symbol of the discreet presence of a hard working professional who throughout his long career with the company never compromised his working standards. Denis still to this day is taking the extra step to produce his trademark high standard schedules: you will often find him burning the midnight oil while fighting to meet another tight deadline, in the process inspiring by his example younger colleagues to do the same. It is through the hard work of the many conscientious professionals like Denis who found a roof with CCCs family that our companys impressive edifice was built. Well done Denis, all best wishes for achieving even more important professional and personal milestones in the future.
