Enerflex open for Brisbane business

Enerflex General Manager Chris Lewis, President and Chief Executive Officer Blair Geortzen, Managing Director AustralAsia Steve Dropulich, President International Bill Moore, Executive Director AustralAsia Kelvin Andrijich, and Queensland Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Stephen Robertson were present to celebrate the facility’s opening.

Mr Robertson gave a keynote address and congratulated the company on its success. In particular, he acknowledged Enerflex’s involvement in the development of the coal seam gas (CSG) industry in the east coast of Australia.

On the back of the huge market opportunity driven by the burgeoning CSG-fed LNG industry in Queensland, the differing regions of Enerflex collectively and collaboratively designed the facility to suit the expected quantity and specification of the compressor packages to be delivered to their customers. Furthermore, the size and configuration of the facility allows Enerflex to leverage off this core competency and further supply triethylene glycol and process equipment packages, undertake revamps and compressor optimisation and execute fabrication and assembly works as part of turnkey and integrated projects.

The new facility features 2,000 square metres (sq m) of office area with an option to expand a further 1,000 sq m to house their teams. The office has been designed keeping in mind the dynamic nature of Queensland’s work styles and workforce. The workshop has a floor area of 3,650 sq m to support the range of services and workshop functions required by Enerflex. This includes overhead cranage, welding and fabrication capabilities, vehicle access, stores and associated support infrastructure.

As part of the company’s ongoing commitment to pioneering best practice, Enerflex is the first company in Australia to be awarded a 4.5 GreenStar rating by the Green Building Council of Australia using a pilot tool developed specifically for the industrial sector. The GreenStar system evaluates the environmental attributes of the built space and allows for benchmarking across the sector.

Some of the sustainable initiatives included the use of recycled rubber (including that from used tires) in lieu of carpet, an operable louver system to manage radiant heat whilst maintaining views, recycled water for sanitary use and irrigation, minimal use of PVC and materials with a low volatile organic compound content, as well as energy efficient lighting and air conditioning systems.

“Enerflex’s continued, demonstrated leadership in design and construction will set the standard for Australia’s natural gas industry going forward,”? says Mr Andrijich.
