SFI announced as silver sponsor for the first annual Aging Assets & Plant Decommissioning

SFI Australia is excited to announce our role as a Silver Sponsor for the upcoming Aging Assets & Plant Decommissioning Conference, taking place from August 26-29, 2024 at the Hotel Grand Chancellor in Brisbane, Australia.

This conference will be invaluable for those responsible for the upkeep, safety, and eventual retirement of aging infrastructure. As industries deal with the challenges of maintaining older assets while meeting modern safety and regulatory standards, this conference provides critical insights and strategies for those required to plan and prepare the project.

A wide range of industry experts will present a variety of case studies discussing challenges faced and overcome in aging asset integrity, project management decommissioning and the rehabilitation of brownfield sites.

It’s a must-attend event for those in the shutdown industry, with insights into:

• Asset integrity management, with strategies for maintaining the structural and operational integrity of aging assets to extend their lifespan and ensure safety.
• Risk assessment and mitigation, with techniques for identifying, evaluation and mitigating risks associated with aging infrastructure, including the potential for failure and environmental impact.
• Decommissioning best practises, with case studies covering the safe and efficient decommissioning of industrial plants and assets, from planning to execution.
• Regulatory compliance, covering understanding permitting requirements and navigating local state environmental requirements.
• Leading practices in mine site rehabilitation, and industrial waste management after site closure.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get a head start and gain valuable knowledge, explore new technologies, and connect with industry leaders who are shaping the future of asset management and decommissioning.
