Anvil Hill Coal Mine

Print This Article

Centennial Coal engaged GHD to complete the conceptual design for all surface facilities required to support Anvil Hill, one of the largest open cut coalmines to be developed in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales.

The design scope included a new rail loop, road systems, administration building, workshops, fuelling systems, truck and light vehicle washes, site drainage, power supply and reticulation. The topography of the mine site, located on a flood plain and bordered by an escarpment and plateau above, presented a number of restraints to the design team. Among these was the issue of limited locations for dam storage and integrating the process plant into the water drainage system. Overhead high voltage power lines, which run through the centre of the site, were also a consideration when preparing the designs.

The GHD team from Singleton and Newcastle overcame all of these challenges at the conceptual layout stage, utilising a broad range of design skills across civil, structural and electrical engineering.
