Nope, openplant was the replacement for plantspace. I've never heard of an EPC using openplant, some still use plantspace though. Autoplant is the primary plant design tool in use in Canada and is...

Re: Any Drafting Roles Going

Bentley still do with Autoplant, other than that PDMS is gaining ground as the primary plant design package over PDS. Intergraph released Smartplant which was going to change everything but it's too...

Re: Gorgon Project Update

Engineering in Perth feels like London 10 years ago where things got a bit pricey and everything that could be done overseas was. In that time London (and Aberdeen) have gone full swing around as...

Re: What's becoming of the Aussies?

The supposed sexism present in Australian politics has its origins from the Labor spin dept and not reality. Screaming misogyny is a diversion tactic to bad judgement and bad policy decisions.

Re: Interesting piece about mining finance in WA

Yeah whilst the mining construction is winding down there is still demand for the ore so the big players will still make a buck given the scale of their output. It's very tough working in engineering...

Re: Pitbulls should be banned.

They weren't pit bulls, they were American Staffys. As happens in almost all dog attack cases it's the owner, not the dogs. The owners were fined previously for not having the dogs registered. Why...

Re: Why are we paying for private health insurance?

Depends which provider and which state as to what you'll get out. Pay more in, get more out. There are certain private insurers that you should not touch with a barge poll (one well known one located...

Re: Margaret Thatcher is dead

Scargill kept the miners on strike, he was just as much to blame as Thatcher. She offered a truce and he rejected it. He even admitted as much in a Guardian article a few years ago yet the miners...

Re: Margaret Thatcher is dead

If you count Glasgow and Brixton most of Britain then yes. The silent majority (who elected her and her government three times) will no doubt be either indifferent or offering their condolances. The...

Re: Electrical work in mining towns

Once you're licensed you'd need to find the work - best off trying the big contractors to see what they've got going like Leightons, Downer, Thiess, Monodelphous to name a few.

Re: The C word

A big word for a big situation, used any other way is either not necessary or going to start a fight. Never to be used in front of a lady although i've heard it spoken by plenty.

Re: Mechanical draftsman jobs

Has he got oil & gas experience? Loads of work for pipers, otherwise the mining and infrastructure side of things may well pick up again soon. What sort of experience has he got? PM me.

Re: Brain Picking - where would you buy in Perth?

Along with Darwin it's just about the only major city in Australia with house prices moving in a postive direction though? Rents can also be postivly geared in some areas, I think from 2010-winter...

Re: Legal Advice on LAFHA Changes

May as well save your $100 and go to the pub. LAFHA has always been a perk and could be withdrawn at any time.

Re: Geo jobs in Perth?

Go for it on a WHV, worst thing that can happen is you can't find work and go work in a pub. There's a big shakedown in mining at the moment, doesn't mean the end of the world though
