Power

In Australia, the organisations which make up the power industry generate electricity from a variety of energy sources.  The energy these companies generate is transported to end-to-end users via electricity transmission and distribution systems.  The fact that power is an essential service on all levels of society is why the power industry needs to be first class when it comes to risk management and due diligence.

The power industry faces a whole range of risks including electrocution, fire/explosion, equipment failure, flood/inundation, as well as external threats such as bushfire.  When considering these risks, not only do they come with significant safety implications, they also have the potential to impact security of energy supply.  In addition to this, there are the reputation and wider business ramifications that come with such failure.

These real risks are why our team here at R2A works extensively with organisations in the power sector.  We ensure power as an essential service, is safely and effectively delivered to the community, by focusing on sensible practical precautions to ensure positive outcomes.  Loss of power is a critical threat to all industries, and we help organisations to manage this threat.

Testimonials

"R2A is technically competent from an engineering perspective and they're my first port of call for their specific attributes. They provide a service, which is beyond risk management - it's an approach that combines pragmatic engineering and risk management. With R2A you get a person-to-person approach and they're able to use language a non-engineer can understand. It's small enough to retain the quality of service and provide sound technical knowledge and reports.

The size of R2A is a major virtue enabling us to have direct contact with the relevant consultants. If we have needed them, they're available at a price that represents very good value. They're responsive to our needs with service that has been good from start to finish. In recommending them I'd say that they provide highly capable engineering in a risk management context and they're independent and original thinkers."

"Silcar is more competent in risk management as an organisation as a result of our association with R2A. R2A's demonstrated technical capability in advice on risk management and risk analysis makes the decision to use them easy. The R2A reference text on risk and reliability is one of the best that's available, especially in the Australian context.

Silcar and R2A have a solid relationship based on shared values. We regard them as strategic advisors. This means that we can share confidential information and have a relationship based on trust.

Silcar's experience is that R2A provide a thorough and reliable service. It's a focussed company with very good consultants - not just one. There's a team of excellent people. The R2A team have a good grasp of the key issues - especially around the broader risk area. For organisations seeking clear headed advice on risk and reliability at a strategic level or expert people to undertake a risk analysis, I have no hesitation in recommending R2A."
