As we prepare for the next major milestone in our longwall operations at the Maxwell Underground, compatibility testing of the longwall components is underway at HBT at Beresfield. This critical process ensures all components work together seamlessly before the equipment progresses to the next stage.
Compatibility testing involves meticulously assessing and validating each part of the longwall system, ensuring the hydraulics, mechanics, and automation systems align perfectly. Identifying and resolving potential issues early guarantees a smooth and efficient assembly process during the on-site mini build, scheduled for Q1 2025.
Once the mini build is complete and operators have undertaken extensive training, the fully tested longwall equipment will be carefully moved into the Maxwell Underground Mine. This marks an exciting step toward commissioning our longwall operations and achieving safe, efficient, and productive coal extraction.
We look forward to sharing more updates as the longwall equipment progresses toward its final installation and operation underground.
