BHP Leinster Skip Winder has been commissioned and returned to full operational production with approval being given by the Western Australian Mines Regulator on Wednesday 15th January 2020 .
This is the first Winder in Australia to be compliant to AS 4730 Part 1 & 2 and AS 61508 utilising Hero Engineering’s Exida IEC 61508 certified processes.
Skip Winder successfully migrated to the new Winder safety system and function tested with hand over to BHP NW operations on Monday 19th August 2019. All works were completed to the Hero Engineering Concept Design and BHP/Hero Migration strategy with detailed Functional Safety engineering and installation of the ABB Safety systems using Hero Engineering’s Exida AS61508 certified processes.
After extensive internal and external independent audits, Exida has renewed the Functional Safety Management and Engineering systems of Hero Engineering to May 1, 2022. The Certification reconfirms our SIL 3 capability in compliance to AS/NZS 61508:2010 underpinning our extensive FS works in process and machinery safety. Hero Engineering has been a Certified Functional Safety Management company since 2013.
Hero Engineering worked closely with Woodside and Siemens Perth on planning, implementation and testing of the OKHA Siemens PCS7 Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS), Compressor Control and Boiler Control Systems offshore. The upgrade involved removal of all hazards from the Topside and Marine operations together with identifying the necessary measures required to safely remove the Safety System , Fire and Gas System and Main Control System coverage during the cut-over process. The ICSS version cut-over was performed in less than an hour due to meticulous migration planning and pre-work, including a 100% FAT on staged simulation systems.
After extensive internal and external independent audits Exida has renewed the Functional Safety Management and Engineering systems of Hero Engineering to April 2019. The Certification reconfirms our SIL 3 capability in compliance to AS/NZS 61508:2010 underpinning our extensive FS works in process and machinery safety.

Sandfire Resources renews DeGrussa I&C contract with Hero Engineering. Commencing in August 2013, Hero Engineering has provided process optimisation with increased plant uptime and increased control systems reliability providing substantial value to the DeGrussa operations and it’s shareholders.
Hero Engineering acted as expert witness for the defense in a case related to a Mine Winder. The work involved forensics over the 12 year life of the winder cage systems with investigation into the original design basis, modification management, competencies and incident reporting systems.
Hero Engineering has entered into a 3 year agreement with INPEX for Functional Safety Lifecycle engineering to AS 61508 for the Ichthys FPSO, Platform and LNG facilities. The FS works range from SIL Determination, SIL Verification and preparation for the Ops phase across all facilities. The award is a culmination of continued collaboration with INPEX from February 2014.
Hero Engineering continues SIL Reviews and SIL Selections for the Ichthys FPSO and CPF project packages. The works will be executed in Perth with workshop attendance in South Korea.
