Heat, power and flexibility to future-proof Gladstone
Gladstone, in Central Queensland, is a key industrial hub producing essential heavy manufacturing goods such as aluminium, cement and chemicals. While vital to Australia’s economic development, Gladstone’s industries are currently emissions-intensive. This report focuses on two key opportunities for industrial decarbonisation in Gladstone: replacing fossil fuels used for industrial heat with low-carbon alternatives and energy...

Optimized installation flow: A strategy for substantial cycle time reduction
Industrial system infrastructure installations, such as those in semiconductor fabrication plants, are complex, short-term and mission-critical. Our strategy, called Optimized Installation Flow (OIF), builds on lean and associated theories in the realm of production planning and control, synthesizing a method with seven principles, and can manage such projects and substantially reduce their durations.

Lean thinking for structural engineers
The lean application in construction sector has received significant attention. Building up on previous recommendations regarding lean design and construction, this study explored lean thinking for Structural Engineers (SE) to identify new, efficient and innovative ways for executing structural designs and engineering works.
