Company Profile

Principals

Nick Read and Paul Gaughan, the two principals, each have over 25 years experience in the water industry, in the ANZ region and internationally. Over that time we have held roles ranging from engineering designers to senior line managers with large international companies. This has provided us with experience in all phases of the project lifecycle – from strategic planning and feasibility studies, preliminary and detailed design phases, procurement, construction and construction supervision, commissioning, proving and improving, servicing on-going or existing operations, and decommissioning.
 

Company Goals

RGPL’s goal is to provide value to our clients and their projects. We can undertake individual assignments such as feasibility studies, project reviews and delivery audits, HaZOP or value engineering workshop facilitation, development of management plans, risk reviews, peer reviews, troubleshooting, or any number of similar project and operations related activities.

Alternatively, RGPL can provide engineering and project management resources to help form or join with existing project teams to direct, manage or assist with the successful delivery of individual projects or bids. The experience and expertise of the principals, together with our industry contacts, links and alliances with other expert individuals and specialist engineering companies, allow RGPL to assist with practically any aspect of project delivery.
 

Industry Experience

We have had involvement and key roles with some of the most significant water projects undertaken in the region over the past 10 – 15 years, either as RGPL or with previous employers. Examples of these include the large, fast-track seawater desalination plants for both Adelaide and Victoria, Gold Coast Water’s Pimpama and Coomera Waterfutures program, the Gippsland Water Factory in Victoria and the upgrades for the Cronulla and Bondi wastewater treatment plants in Sydney.  We were involved with Singapore’s NEWater program and the first recycled water plants at Bedok, Kranji and Seletar. Also in Singapore we were involved with the Changi water reclamation facility.  In New Zealand, we worked on Project Manukau for the augmented Mangere wastewater treatment plant servicing Auckland, the Waikato water treatment plant and Wellington’s Hutt Valley and Wainuiomata Wastewater Scheme.  These and many other projects, coupled with years of industry experience have provided us with sound technical and management skills.  Descriptions of some of these undertakings can be found here.
