Winners: 2010 Asset Management Awards

19 July 2010 - Winners of the 2010 Asset Management Awards, conducted by the Asset Management Council, have been the announced.

The 2010 Asset management Awards Dinner, held recently at Adelaide’s Hilton Hotel in conjunction with the ICOMS Asset Management Conference, attracted over 200 of the industry’s leaders and practitioners in asset management and maintenance.
Chairman of the awards committee and MC for the awards dinner evening, Geoff Cannon says, “the Asset Management Awards offers organisations an opportunity to reflect on their asset management journey to date, and also consider their next steps towards achieving a continuously maturing approach to the management of its physical assets.”
This year’s round of entrants included:

• Airservices Australia, Technology & Asset Services, Queensland
• BHP Billiton Western Australia Iron Ore, RGP 4 Operational Readiness Project - NJV Hub, Western Australia
• CS Energy Ltd, Queensland
• Transfield Services (Australia) Pty Ltd - Power Generation Services, Starfish Hill Windfarm, South Australia.

CS Energy Ltd received a Bronze Level of achievement, while Airservices Australia, BHP Billiton Western Australia Iron Ore and Transfield Services all received a Silver Level of achievement.
“To receive entries from not only all across Australia, but also from across the industries of mining, aviation, electricity and energy, is verification that asset management is becoming an integral component to effective business today,” Cannon says.
All recipients receive an on-site review by three experienced asset management assessors, who then produce a detailed report on each participating organisation, outlining its strengths and opportunities, as measured against criteria that reflect the philosophy and models of the asset management body of knowledge.
