Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT) Stacker Project

Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal, a critical part of Queensland’s coal export infrastructure, is undergoing a significant upgrade to sustain its operational efficiency. As part of this effort, the terminal is replacing its existing rail-mounted stacker machine (ST1) with a newly designed Stacker (ST1A). This upgrade is essential to improve the terminal’s capacity and enhance its long-term reliability.

BMA Goonyella Riverside Mine Dewatering Screens Upgrade

Goonyella Riverside Mine (GRM), a key coal mining operation in the Bowen Basin, is located about 30km north of Moranbah and 190km southwest of Mackay. As a leading electrical mining contractor, CE Group was engaged to upgrade the mine’s Coal Preparation Plant 1 (CPP1) Fine Rejects Dewatering system. This project aimed to rectify a plant bottleneck, increasing production rates and improving system reliability.

The upgrade involved replacing the existing dewatering screen with larger dual screens. This enhancement was critical to addressing a single point of failure (SPF) within the system, which previously halted production when unavailable. By upgrading the system, the mine would not only boost productivity but also ensure redundancy, a key requirement for uninterrupted operations.

As part of this major SMP (Structural, Mechanical, and Piping) and Electrical & Instrumentation (E&I) overhaul, CE Group undertook a wide range of services. These included the supply and installation of new Motor Control Center (MCC) cells, crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of various electrical systems. Additionally, CE Group handled the supply and installation of all pneumatic equipment, power and control cabling, and instrumentation across the site.

The project also required the installation of remote I/O panels and remote local control stations, enhancing the mine’s operational efficiency. These installations allowed for better control and monitoring of key systems, ensuring that production could continue smoothly without unnecessary interruptions.

Throughout the project, CE Group’s extensive expertise as an electrical mining contractor played a vital role in delivering high-quality results. The team worked closely with key stakeholders to ensure the project was completed on time and within budget, all while maintaining strict safety standards.

This successful collaboration at Goonyella Riverside Mine further solidifies CE Group’s reputation as a trusted electrical mining contractor. Their ability to manage complex electrical and instrumentation projects in challenging mining environments ensures that clients can achieve improved operational outcomes while maintaining safety and efficiency.
