Campbell, who is now the company’s Moranbah operations readiness coordinator, led the operations function team for the 2017 Major Turnaround just one year into her role as a process engineer and with only two years’ industry experience.

It was one of the largest turnaround projects executed in Incitec Pivot’s Australian manufacturing history with 94,000 man hours, 695 Workpacks, and high risk and complex scope of work including commissioning of five compressor trains following major overhauls and catalyst reductions.

This involved assisting with the planning and execution of plant shutdown and decommissioning, isolation and blinding, permit issuing, commissioning and start-up of the ammonia, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate and power and utilities plants.

Incitec Pivot Moranbah site manager Peter Henderson said Campbell left a legacy for both the site and the IPL Turnaround Management System.

“Hannah expanded the TMS operations function to include the best practice processes developed during the turnaround and mentored the lead from the next Incitec Pivot turnaround to get on-the-job experience,” he said.

Campbell showed experience beyond her years to successfully control the large risk to customer contracts with the ability to maintain supply with the plants offline capacity being unproven, AMMA director of industry services Tara Diamond said.

“Applying a continuous improvement mentality, Hannah focused on how she would leave a legacy, as well as executing the turnaround successfully,” Diamond said.

“By interacting with, and seeking input from different departments, she was able to develop the processes to match the site’s needs both during the Turnaround, and going forward.

“Following a lesson learnt review post-turnaround, she then updated the Operations Readiness TMS documents for use in future turnarounds.”

Campbell led key changes including an electronic permit map, schedule development process and commissioning workpacks for critical machine commissioning.

Diamond said the turnaround scorecard criteria of safety, quality, schedule and cost were all achieved, and all customer demand was met during the period with no injuries occurring during the turnaround window.
