ROBERTS AND SCHAEFER COMPANY - How the world processes its resources


COAL PRODUCTION
Overland Conveying

Methods to transport bulk materials over long distances must include the consideration of overland conveyors. Roberts & Schaefer Company (R&S) has designed, constructed and commissioned conveyor systems over exceedingly difficult terrain using special or standard conveying systems. Projects range from surface mining operations that have moved further from existing storage and loading facilities, to new hard rock quarries that totally eliminated truck hauling from the outset.

Our in-depth engineering capabilities provide both the static and the dynamic design analysis critical to each conveyor's operation. In addition, we apply design features that maximise operating availability, the use of horizontal curves to eliminate transfer points, and configuring drive arrangements to optimise horsepower.

Our broad experience has successfully demonstrated the value and reliability of high speed, high capacity overland conveyor systems. We present the projects below to illustrate our experience and capabilities.

HARRIS MINE - KOPPERSTON PROJECT

Kopperston, West Virginia
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 project information

BLACK THUNDER MINE

Wright, Wyoming
Roberts & Schaefer provided complete project management, detailed engineering, procurement and constructions management services for the addition of two run-of-mine, semi-mobile, near pit crushing stations and an overland conveying system to the Black Thunder Mine. In-depth project information
