Letter from the President As I begin my year as IPLOCA’s president I am very pleased to be working with the members of our new Board of Directors. I’m sure many of the faces will be familiar to you, but in case they are not, you will find more information about them on page 6 of this newsletter. We are all looking forward to a busy year. In particular, we plan to continue to expand our Regional Meetings, both to promote participation of our regional clients and to attract potential new members. Another area of emphasis for this year is New Technologies, where we plan to cooperate on some specific research projects with other groups and to continue to seek feedback and further develop our publication “Onshore Pipelines: The Road to Success.” In Training, our committee is developing a questionnaire and working with our sister associations under the umbrella of the World Federation. We will be fostering the active participation of our Academic Members in this area. I will continue to serve as committee Chairman for the HSE initiatives. These include further expansion of our website and revision and updating of our Environmental Guidelines. We also commit to continue to offer a world-class convention, working with our membership and our generous sponsors to ensure that it meets your needs and expectations. Finally, I would like to offer my hearty congratulations to Mike Thiele, elected by unanimous Board vote as IPLOCA’s newest Honorary Member. Mike was presented to the Membership at the San Francisco Convention. By the time this newsletter is in your hands we will just have completed our December Board Meeting and the IPLOCA Secretariat staff will be preparing to move the offices within Geneva. We will not go far; in fact the new location is even closer to the Geneva Airport. You will find more information on the next page. It just remains for me to wish you an excellent 2010. I look forward to working with each and every one of you. Please do not hesitate to contact me at Adam.WynneHughes@ landandmarine.com should you have any questions. Sincerely,
Adam Wynne Hughes

lease on the IPLOCA office space would not be renewed, since the principal tenants required the space for their own use. We subsequently began a search for new offices located in a convenient spot close to Geneva International Airport. During October, after extensive negotiations, Executive Secretary Juan Arzuaga signed a five-year lease for space in a brand new (currently still being finalised) building that is even closer to the airport than our current facilities. We plan to move the offices early in the New Year. If all goes according to plan, and assuming our doors and dividing walls are in place on schedule, we should be up and running for business by 15 January. Not only is the new Geneva Airpark an easy walk from the airport and next to the new tram line, it is also almost directly opposite the Holiday Inn Express and just steps from the Moevenpick Hotel – a real advantage for those needing accommodation when flying in to attend meetings at IPLOCA (or anyone particularly fond of that famous Swiss ice cream brand). The new building is definitely a landmark. Its huge external yellow metal supports are visible from quite a distance. The front part of the building is office space, and the rear – under the same roof – is an aircraft hangar, should you be fortunate enough to arrive at IPLOCA by private jet. The airport control tower is clearly visible from the new building. Internal work is continuing. Ultimately the space will include a meeting room for up to 14 people.

On the Wednesday of convention week, the Worldwide Machinery tennis tournament took place at the beautiful Meadowood Country Club in the heart of the Napa Valley. In the midst of six tennis courts set off by lawns and gardens, the participants were served a full breakfast buffet set out on the lawn. Following breakfast, it was time to play tennis. After five rounds of doubles, the top four in each of the two brackets played off for the championship. The winners in the Blue

This year, PIH introduced a new competition – “Beat the Pro”. Ten players did indeed beat the professional supplied by the course, and each received a small prize at the end of the event. The added competition was judged a great success and is likely to be repeated next year in Venice. Apparently the infamous Rod Hardy behaved perfectly this year, to everyone’s great surprise. What has happened previously involving Rod? The stories abound, but last year he succeeded in breaking a brand new club and rumour has it that in the 2007 tournament he managed to put such a huge hole in the course while teeing off that an excavator had to be brought in to repair the damage… Our illustrious host winners (Team 10) (Left to right): Vimal Kaushik, Phil Bond, Adam Wynne Hughes and Patrick Michels

What can we do that is effective to reduce our carbon footprint and not cost the earth? Perhaps in the near term we should look at reducing the amount of fuel we use on our construction projects. Although we train plant operators before they are allowed to start on a project, this training concentrates on the safety aspect. Studies have been carried out by various road transport organisations with the objective of reducing their fuel costs. The studies show that by training drivers to conserve fuel by driving efficiently they can reduce fuel costs by 15 percent. Why not apply this to reducing our carbon footprint and save money? We have all seen cranes and side-booms sitting for hours with the engine ticking over waiting to start work. We see and hear generators running during the day when there is no need. Do we have the correct traffic management systems in place? Who decides the route a driver will take? Is it via his favourite café, 20 km off the most direct route? We would like our members to participate in forwarding ideas on saving fuel and also what criteria we should use to measure our carbon emissions. Please send your comments to info@iploca.com.
President of Health, Safety and Environment at Willbros has committed to add his expertise to the committee. “We are delighted that Willbros is lending its support to the committee in the person of Brad, as we move forward with our committee objectives in 2010“ he said. “We look forward to a busy and productive year.”

Novel Construction Plenary Session “Onshore Pipelines - The Road to Success” At the end of October in Geneva, 27 people from 21 companies attended the Novel Construction Plenary Session, focused on the further development of the document “Onshore Pipelines – The Road to Success”. The objectives of the meeting included identifying those parts of the book that need to be expanded, identifying new topics that need to be covered, defining work groups and their composition and discussion of possible research

the most substantial feedback will be gleaned from a Road-to-Success-specific questionnaire that will be sent to all recipients for response by early 2010. The cover letter sent with the document asked that recipients circulate the document widely within their organisations and make it available for review by as many people on the managerial staff as possible while the questionnaire is in preparation. We particularly asked reviewers to look at the document with the following in mind: -- Their level of interest in the document -- Feedback by chapter -- Sections that need expanding -- Likelihood of using the document as a working guide Each delegate at the San Francisco Convention received a copy of the book and response so far has been very positive. We are gratified that so many of our member companies provided their expertise and manpower in developing the content. In all, some 110 people and more than 50 companies contributed to this edition.

on the Barmer-Salaya Pipeline (Rajasthan State in western India to Gujarat State) at Sanchor3. A camel had fallen into the ditch of the pipeline under construction. It seemed that it was injured and could not rise to its feet. It let out indignant low grunts whenever it was approached by people. The pipelayer operators decided to attempt to rescue the unfortunate animal with two hoisting belts. First they dug two shallow ditches below the camel’s belly, and then slowly pulled through two hoisting belts. With the lift hook slowly and carefully raised, the camel was gently hoisted up, its legs kicking randomly as the assembled crew looked on with apprehension. The pipelayer finally landed the camel lightly on safe ground to instant and enthusiastic applause.
