Project Background
Roberts & Schaefer was awarded the contract to design, procure, construct, install and commission the integration of new and existing conveyor equipment at the Glennies Creek Colliery.
Scope included modification to the existing drift conveyor to discharge to new 1400 mm wide Raw Coal conveyor at 3000 TPH, scalping screen, refurbish and install a used rotary breaker, a new 1400 mm wide Raw Coal conveyor at 3000 TPH loading coal onto the stockpile and a 1000 mm wide Reject conveyor loading from the rotary breaker onto a rejects stockpile.
The system was installed on existing mine spoil area, requiring special floating foundation systems and structural designs which would accommodate a large degree of foundation settlement.
