Company: Melbourne Water
Project requirements:  To source a local supplier of Lockout Tagout equipment, with good quality products and service, without the long lead times of an overseas supplier.
Outcome: Cirlock are now the preferred supplier of Melbourne Water across all sites for Lockout Tagout.

Melbourne Water were looking to update their supplier of Lockout Tagout. The main issue they were experiencing was with their overseas supplier; due to the location of the supplier it was sometimes taking up to three months to receive products.  With varying amounts of success, Melbourne Water tried a number of Australian suppliers, continuously seeking a company that could source and supply custom lockout tagout equipment, give multiple sites access to a standard Melbourne Water product range, easy ordering processes and good service!

Working alongside Unitywater to source and supply all Lockout Tagout equipment required to implement the company’s new Workplace Health & Safety procedures.  Plus, onsite training of staff to ensure they understand how to use the equipment correctly and safely.

The Loy Yang AGL Power Station produces enough power to supply over 2 million average
Australian homes every year.

AGL Loy Yang with 2,210MW generates approximately 30% of Victoria’s power requirements every
year and is an integral part of Australia’s national electricity market.

AGL Loy Yang is in the Latrobe Valley, 165 kilometres south east of Melbourne and was acquired
by AGL in 2012. The power station and accompanying open cut coal mine cover about 6,000
hectares. The mine supplies coal to the Loy Yang A power station and the Alinta owned Loy Yang
B power as the fuel to generate electricity. Each year about 30 million tonnes of coal is produced.
AGL Loy Yang power station runs 24/7 and in 2014 completed a $60 million integrated control
and monitoring system (ICMS) conversion project that gave AGL Loy Yang state of the art digital

The $1.8 billion Sunshine Coast Public University Hospital project is a State Government initiative to address the growing health service needs of the Sunshine Coast community. The hospital opened with approximately 450 beds in 2016 and the remaining capacity is expected to be commissioned by 2020/21, which will see all 738 beds used. The hospital has also been planned to allow further expansion of up to a total of 900 beds.

The new tertiary facility is being delivered through a public private partnership (PPP) contract with Exemplar Health, a consortium comprising Lend Lease, Siemens and Capella Capital, with partner Spotless Facilities Services. This consortium will design, build and finance the public hospital as well as maintain it for 25 years.

Cirlock was contacted by Lend Lease to provide the Cirlock permanently mounted Lockout System. This involved the purchase of a number of key items for use on the hospital project, including 12 pole mounting sets to suit the Schneider NS250
