Caval Ridge Stacker & Reclaimers Installation

Opened in 2014, the Caval Ridge Mine located in Queensland’s Bowen Basin produces 5.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of premium quality metallurgical coal with an expected life of approximately 30 years.

KAEFER’s team undertook the Structural, Mechanical, Piping, Electrical & Instrumentation (SMPE&I) installation works for the coal stackers and reclaimers, which included three boom stackers, one boom bucket wheel reclaimer and one dual bucket wheel bridge reclaimer.

The works encompassed all site establishment and management activities including auditing, inspection, construction verification and testing as well as provision of pre-commissioning / commissioning support. KAEFER provided all equipment and systems necessary to provide fully functioning systems for stacking and reclaiming of coal.

All machines were erected on time with a peak workforce of over 250 people.
