In 2020, Revision Zero undertook the intricate task of structural steel detailing for the Goonyella Dewatering Screens, located 30 kilometres north of Moranbah, Queensland, Australia. This site lies within the traditional lands of the Barada Barna people. The Goonyella Riverside mine, an open-cut coal mine with a storied history dating back to 1982, merged with the neighbouring Riverside mine in 1989, creating a significant operation. The installation of these dual screens was a pivotal move to alleviate a bottleneck in Coal Preparation Plant 1 (CCP1), thereby enhancing production rates.
The project scope included not only the installation of a new platform for the screens but also comprehensive structural steelwork, platework—including chutes, underpans, and feed boxes—along with a new gantry section, pipework, handrails, grating, valves, and conveyor components. This extensive work was meticulously executed during three planned plant shutdowns. The extracted coal is transported via the Goonyella railway line to Hay Point, from where it reaches global markets.
Revision Zero’s involvement provided 3D modelling services and workshop fabrication drawings, collectively amounting to approximately 52 tons of material. This project showcased the company’s expertise and underscored its capacity to handle complex industrial requirements efficiently and effectively.
