The Carmichael coal mine is located in the north Galilee Basin, Queensland, approximately 280km south of Townsville and 300km west of Mackay. The work scope included the construction of a water pipeline and procurement of associated pumping equipment & water storages.
This particular section included gas and water gathering pipelines, along with the added complexity of installation of HV & FOC reticulation, often commingled within the trenches with the PE Gas & Water pipelines.
Pneumatic testing was progressively completed in five defined sections, allowing a sequenced handover of the asset to commence early gas extraction.
Completed on time and on budget, with zero defects, despite significant challenges of slow rock excavation and inclement weather.
