This multidisciplinary project involved the design and construction of a rail loop and materials handling conveyor system to transport coal from the Airly Mine to the train loading bin and connecting to the NSW freight rail network.
The scope of the works included:
- trackwork for the conveyor system
- three conveyors
- crushing station
- skyline tripper
- stockpile pad
- reclaim tunnel
- rail load-out bin.
Laing O'Rourke's rail team designed and constructed the rail loop including the turnout from ARTC mainline and will instigate bulk earthworks for the rail loop and materials handling system.
The system allows the transportation of 1800 tonnes of coal per hour, providing Centennial Coal with greater efficiencies.
