| Roberts & Schaefer Company (R&S) understands coal
is an inconsistent fossil fuel exhibiting a wide range of material
handling and storage characteristics. Transporting coal must be
done in a manner that minimises dust, prevents build-up in chute-work
or storage facilities, and provides access for operation and maintenance.
Maximum operating availability and performance is facilitated
by interface controls and monitoring of the entire system.
Our broad coal handling experience is illustrated below.

R&S served as the project manager and did the detailed engineering,
permitting and construction management for this $45 million dollar
endeavour. The goal was to create a coal handling system that
would combine coal from two separate production facilities, store
and load unit trains. Initially capacity was specified as 2 mtpy,
but now is running at double that.In-depth
