Anglo Coal required a new processing plant, coal handling facilities and overland conveyor as part of its expansion of German Creek Mine. Sedgman undertook resource evaluation, definitive feasibility study and cost estimate, then detailed design, construction and commissioning. Since 2005, a Thiess-Sedgman JV had undertaken similar work at Anglo Coal’s nearby Dawson coal handling and preparation plant (CHPP), cost and design time were significantly reduced by leveraging the Dawson engineering. Highlights were a successful site-wide control system upgrade and innovative high-intensity fine coal dewatering system in the CPP. Sedgman’s plant design enabled washing in two-stage, two product mode and also in a single-stage mode with the added flexibility of screening the coarse product to enhance coking coal properties. The solution effectively integrated and interfaced new with old, including ROM systems, rejects disposal, train load out and control systems. Included were an 800 t/h CPP and a 21 km single flight belt conveyor, the second longest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.
