Tenova SEMF completed a new stacker for QBH Terminal

Friday, 09 Oct 2009

Tenova SEMF, part of TAKRAF Tenova has recently obtained the Practical Completion Certificate for its QBH coal stacker installation located at Brisbane in Queensland.

The long traveling twin boom coal stacker with tripper was designed and constructed for the Fisherman Islands storage facility expansion part of the Queensland Bulk Handling Pty Ltd coal terminal, fully owned by New Hope Corporation Limited. Tenova SEMF contract was for design, fabrication, mechanical fit out, delivery, erection and commissioning and formed part of QBH wider stockyard upgrade, which is expected to be completed by late 2010.

The stacker was successfully delivered three weeks ahead of schedule; the nominally 100 meters wide stacker has twin booms and a capacity of 2,750 tonnes per hour. The stacker is rail mounted, traveling up to 165 m and will generate two 20 meter high parallel coal stockpiles.

This machine represents a key component of the whole expansion plan for the coal terminal.
