Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal is a major bulk coal export terminal located at the Port of Hay Point in Queensland, Australia. The terminal supports the handling, storage, reclaiming, and export loading of coal from Queensland’s Bowen Basin mining operations and forms a critical part of Australia’s bulk export infrastructure.

Coal is delivered to the terminal via rail transport, where it is unloaded and transferred through an extensive conveyor network to designated stockpile areas. From these stockpiles, reclaimers recover and transfer coal back onto the conveying system for delivery to ship loaders at the export berths. Designed for continuous high-capacity material handling operations, DBCT supports efficient coal movement from mine supply chains to export vessels servicing international markets.

The RL4 Reclaimer Project forms part of DBCT’s ongoing infrastructure renewal program and involves the delivery of a new rail-mounted bucketwheel reclaimer designed to replace an existing end-of-life machine within the terminal’s stockyard operations. The RL4 Reclaimer is designed with a nominal reclaim capacity of up to 5,300 tonnes per hour, supporting reliable coal reclaiming capability and continuous material flow across the terminal’s conveying and ship loading systems.

Revision Zero was engaged for the steel detailing phase of the RL4 Reclaimer project, providing coordinated 3D modelling and fabrication-ready drawings for key structural components.

The scope covered the RL4 Reclaimer structural steel package, comprising approximately 182.34 tonnes of structural steel for the main structure and 301.28 tonnes for the boom structure, forming the primary and extended load-bearing assemblies of the reclaimer.

Associated secondary elements include approximately 573.76 linear metres of safety handrails (main structure), 574.74 linear metres (boom structure), 959.8 square metres of floor grating (main structure), and 686.3 square metres (boom structure), providing safe access for operation, inspection, and maintenance activities.

Revision Zero’s detailing scope also included pipe supports, electrical brackets, access and maintenance platforms, equipment platforms, mechanical supports, and associated ancillary steelwork.

All detailing deliverables are developed in accordance with project specifications, applicable Australian Standards, and client requirements. Emphasis was placed on constructability, coordination accuracy, and fabrication efficiency to ensure clear, accurate, and buildable structural steel documentation.

The RL4 Reclaimer Project demonstrates Revision Zero’s capability in delivering high-quality structural detailing solutions for complex bulk materials handling and heavy industrial infrastructure projects throughout Australia.
