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.
Major construction challenges included major river crossings, a variety of cultural heritage sites and liaising with some 4,000 property owners.
Mitchell designed and constructed six of the seven supply systems in just over 3 years, delivering the project 6 years ahead of the original 10 year time frame.
Mitchell’s safety performance on the project was outstanding, completing 900,000 manhours without a single LTI.
