Optimising Mining Operations for Greater Efficiency

CRS strives to uphold high workplace standards with a strong attention to detail. By adding value to mining operations, CRS helps improve dig rates for production fleets, enhance coal quality, and increase coal recovery.

With expertise in coal logistics and improvement strategies, CRS provides the knowledge and support needed to optimise operations. Ultimately, CRS’s contributions lead to increased yields at the CHPP.

Specialised Workforce Solutions and Expert Services

In addition to operational support, CRS offers specialised recruitment and HR services, leveraging Grant Hobden’s extensive experience in the field. The company also provides OCE and Statutory coverage to assist mining operations in managing leave, training, and vacancies.

Expanding its service offerings, CRS now delivers a reliable, results-driven mulching service, backed by years of industry expertise.

Enhancing Efficiency

CRS have the ability to target and remove thin parting and reduce roof and floor dilution improving ROM ash, increasing bypass opportunities, improving yield, and increasing overall CHPP throughput.

Reducing Dilution

Selective mining around dykes, faults and other geotechnical anomalies can also greatly reduce dilution.

Eliminating Intrusions

Eliminating clay partings or intrusions can reduce risk of any stoppages or delays through the CHPP.

Coal Recovery Services Advantages

Benefits offered by CRS are to aid increased mining rates of the client production equipment, increase recoveries of targeted coal seams, improve CHPP efficiency, allow mining of previously uneconomical seams, and improve profit of the whole operation.

Increase Coal Recovery

The specialised operators and equipment offered by CRS increase coal recovery especially steep, thin, soft and friable coal seams. CRS has proven to increase coal recovery from 85% to more than 99% thus maximising coal recoveries.

Improved Coal Quality

CRS have the ability to target and remove thin parting and reduce roof and floor dilution improving ROM ash, increasing bypass opportunities, improving yield, and increasing overall CHPP throughput.

Increased Dig Rates

Production fleets are often held back when first entering and when finishing an area. CRS can help to establish work areas in advance ensuring coal isn’t tagged unnecessarily and that diggers do not waste time digging test pit to locate coal roofs.

Mining of Difficult Areas

CRS equipment and operators are ideally suited to set up and recover coal from the most difficult areas. CRS can help to efficiently mine the coal seams down to and less than 200mm.

Coal Recovery Services Value Adding

  • Improved coal seam recoveries by identifying and selectively mining out dykes/intrusions etc.
  • Improved mining of heave passes, blast affected coal, edges and wedges. Mining of thin and friable seams previously wasted.
  • Establish coal block work areas in advance with productive coal faces giving opportunity to increase overall dig rates of production fleet.
  • Washery yield improvements by minimizing roof/floor dilution. Increased potential for bypass quality coal.
  • Reduced washery operation costs.
  • Flexibility to assist mining operations in productivity improvements to give best outcome for both CPS and the client.
  • Specialise in providing quality coal preparation for the client.
