    Wheatstone Project

    While working on the Wheatstone Project, lead project rigging engineer, Dusko Barac, proposed an innovative idea. Dusko realised there was an opportunity to increase the operational envelope of the permanent facility bridge cranes to include maintenance works. The reach of the gantry cranes needed to be extended to allow them to pick up components previously out of reach.
