QCC RESOURCES
AUSTRALIA project for the company .
“ We started off in 2009 doing a concept study for them and that progressed into a pre-feasibility study , then feasibility study and then we set up the design and scope for the Ravensworth project ,” says Swanson .
One of the biggest challenges in delivering the Ravensworth project was that it had to be constructed within an existing operational facility and was therefore governed by a wide range of constraints including a large geographical area .
According to Swanson , an interesting fact is that the project required 14 new conveyors to be designed and constructed .
“ The total length of the new conveyor network was over 9 kilometers . In addition upgrades were required for existing conveyors which covered just under 5 kilometers bringing the total length of the entire conveyor network to an incredible13.9 kilometers .”
A key factor in overcoming the challenges was the deployment of QCC Resources team members from the recently successfully completed Mangoola project . The team brought with them high levels of technical expertise and valuable onsite experience . In addition , they were assisted by teams from Downer East who delivered all of the electrical work and some of the SMP work .
Services The core of QCC Resources ’ business lies in strategic consulting in coal processing , engineering and design , and project delivery .
“ We have a deep understanding of coal quality and processing ,” says Swanson . “ That ’ s what sets us apart and drives great results in our designing and in our construction .”
In correlation with Downer , QCC is able to provide an enormous wealth of capability to the coal mining industry .
“ We teamed up with Downer to be able to construct and supply whole coal preparations for the industry ,” says Swanson . “ We do the designing and now with Downer we are able to offer a full suite of services from the early stages of a project ( feasibility study , engineering and design ) to the execution .”
“ We are able to bring our experience across the whole spectrum of the coal development
