This report summarises the audit activities and outcomes during the six month period covering tunnel package construction activities by Spark from May – October 2022.
Six audits were conducted during the audit period.
A total of forty-six (46) audit findings were raised comprising five (5) Non-compliances, 28 Areas for Improvement, and 13 Observations.
Spark established corrective actions to address the audit findings. During the reporting period fifteen (15) findings were closed comprising of seven (7) Areas for Improvement, seven (7) Observations, and one (1) Non-compliance (see Figure 5).
The overall outcomes of the audits conducted showed that implementation of environmental management arrangements was initially immature. Some of the environmental management documentation did not reflect actual environmental management practices and processes, and some on-ground environmental management practices were either not in place as required by the works being undertaken, or not effective.
There was improvement demonstrated over the six months reporting period.
