WINNER: PRP 2
By Zafar Khan, HSE Manager,
Leighton India, Offshore Oil & Gas
“The HPCL SPM project
differentiated itself from the other
two competitors with its excellent
community development program,
themed at improving the environment,
at two local schools.”
The story of PRP 2 begins with 17
people from different companies and ten
different nationalities in an office. The
marine spread was huge comprising 40
vessels with eight major mother vessels
in a very congested ONGC field.
The topside modification in the ONGC
process is an extremely risky job due to
interface with at least four barges and
contractors on the same platform. The
weather condition were also challenging
including the cyclone we faced.
With the leadership of Senthil Kumar
Karmegam, Senior Project Manager,
an action plan was implemented that
includes continuous on-the-job HSE
training with regular audits; identifying
HSE risks and micro planned solutions;
developing the cohesiveness among
the crew who belong to different
nationalities and cultures and
recognising good safe practises by the
crew through awards and appreciation.
The team was equally dedicated
to help the local community through
various programmes. Here are some
examples:
with the Maharashtra State Blood
Transfusion Council, a record
collection of 178 units of blood was
achieved on day one. Over 200
people participated, both Leighton
staff and the client, ONGC.

RUNNER UP:
HPCL SPM PROJECT
By Deepak HN - HSE Manager,
Leighton India, Offshore Oil & Gas
The HPCL project team has shown
a strong commitment and a systematic
approach to HSE challenges from
the start to finish of the project. This
involved a number of critical offshore
and onshore activities at the project, in
parallel with a peak crew operating more
than 500 people at once and marine
spread of more than 10 vessels.
The project was completed with
no loss time injuries. Through good
planning from the project initial stage,
the risks across the whole project were
identified and controlled before it could
occur. The team worked systematically
with subcontractors and suppliers to
involve them in their HSE efforts.
The team also showed great social
responsibility towards the local
community. They organised programs
to promote long term education for
the local children and helped raise
awareness on the environment through
plays, awards presentation and planting
of trees. We also donated computers
to the local schools. This was highly
appreciated by the local community.
