Cameby Downs Mine - Chinchilla QLD Civil and Concrete Works

Construction of major concrete and earth works, which include 5 different areas: ROM handling, raw coal handling, coal preparation plant, product and rejects handling, and train loading station.

Challenges

Remote location, 10 on 4 off roster and hot weather have been challenging. In addition, delayed access to some construction areas as well as the impact of wet weather have delayed progress.

Clients Specific Needs

The Reed Group is ensuring that all staff and sub-contractors have completed the relevant coal industry induction and passed a coal board medical. In addition, all Reed staff are breathalysed before commencing work and a random drug testing regime has been put in place on site.

Any specific OH & S or environmental issues

As the Cameby Downs construction site is located on a mine lease, the site is governed by the Coal Mining Safety & Health Act 1999 (QLD) and the Coal Mining Safety & Health Regulation 2001 (QLD).
