A Word from The Boss

Energy Transition, Align to Secure

Welcome to our Autumn newsletter for 2025!

In this edition, we are thrilled to share in New Zealand First Gas asset protection uplift client success story, Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) mobile data management rollout for their day-to-day Lands Management Activities in Western Australia, articles on Navigating the Complexities of Renewables Projects in relation to Stakeholder Management, The Power of Clean Data, Security update, present another X-InFocus tech tip, and update of our teams’ Kamapim continuous improvement activities in connecting people with information.

It has been an nerve wrecking start to 2025 with the recent Tropical Cyclone Alfred in South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales significantly disrupting the wider Community. It is amazing to acknowledge the incredible efforts of the various affected Power and Water Utilities and Councils in their restoration efforts. I am happy to report our Brisbane office has resumed normal operations, with some sizable projects successfully delivered.

Our Kamapim continuous improvement process carries on with this year’s focus on the theme of the three C’s (Communicate, Collaborate, Change). We’re also attending numerous APGA events across several states (so good to be able to see people in person) including our sustained sponsorship of the New Zealand Seminar, Golf Day and Dinner in New Plymouth since its inception in 2017. Our Services Delivery Manager, Adam Herbert and Ross Larson from APA jointly presenting at the Adelaide Pipeline Operators Group (POG) Seminar earlier this month. Our digital Transformation Stage – “Race to Align” – the Next Generation of X-Info suite, with our AWS Platform, continues positioning us with the most up-to date secure, resilient and efficient platform for our hosted Client’s solutions.

From all the team at Mipela GeoSolutions, stay safe!
