English Español Français Our Expertise Projects Careers About Us Grosvenor Underground Coal Mine Execution Anglo American Coal | Australia | 2011–2016 Challenges Develop an underground longwall metallurgical coal mine to produce up to 7 Mtpa of run-of-mine coal to become about 5 Mtpa of exportable coking coal. Ensure minimal impact on production at the existing Moranbah North mine, while using its coal preparation plant, rail loops, water infrastructure, and support facilities. Perform very detailed assessment and engineering work to integrate new equipment with 15-year-old Moranbah equipment halfway through its useful life. Solutions Provide EPCM services for the project execution phase, including rigorous vendor quality surveillance and overall commissioning responsibilities. Construction began in July 2012 with first coal production achieved in May 2016. Since May 2013, we have worked in a truly integrated team, with reporting and responsibilities flowing in both directions between client and us. Project efficiency benefited from procurement from China and shop detailing from South Africa. Safety system was ranked “the most comprehensive” for coal mine construction by Queensland Mines Inspectorate. Highlights Expected operating life is now over 30 years The Grosvenor project forms a major part of coal business unit’s growth strategy “We don't have Hatch people and Anglo American people; we're all playing for the GPT [Grosvenor project team]. Our surface construction manager likes to say it’s a team of hard hitters and crowd pleasers, and I have to agree.” Gregory O'Donnell | Grosvenor Project Site Manager, Anglo American’s Metallurgical Coal Business “Given that the commissioning crew commissioned a substantial conveyor like this in a one-week timeframe, an achievement like this should not be underestimated. Quite often, when major works like this appear to happen so easily, people have a tendency to forget the previous efforts that have gone into design, construction, supervision, QA, and commissioning.” Shaun Smith | Project Manager (surface) at the Grosvenor project, Anglo American Project numbers US$1.7 billion 7 Mtpa increase in production capacity for the next 30+ years 7 months ahead of schedule Services & technologies provided Bulk material handling Coal Commissioning Construction management Energy optimization Engineering Environmental services Procurement Project management Site deployment Structural assets What's your challenge?
