Conveyor remediation, Clermont Coal Mine

Emergency remediation of a conveyor alignment moved by uncontrolled subsurface drainage beside the crest of a former open-pit highwall that now stores mine water.

The work

Risk-based remediation options were presented to the site's senior executives and stakeholders and taken through HAZOP and HAZID review.

The approved works were delivered: drainage capturing stormwater to under-conveyor piping, with pumps and pipelines.
