Creative solutions for coal mine expansion project

With a strong history in base and precious metals, our diversification has seen us provide world-leading solutions across a broad range of commodities including coal and iron ore.

Our work on the Carborough Downs coal project reflects our strong bulk commodity expertise.

Working for one of the world's largest diversified resource organisations, our specialist coal team delivered engineering, procurement and construction management for the new coal handling facilities and duplication of the coal preparation plant.

The expansion saw the mine's annual coal production increase by almost two million tonnes to 4.8 million tonnes per year.
