Title
Centennial Airly Coal QDS Hydraulic Dissipation Device
Identified Problem:
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
Grahame Collins identified potential personnel hydraulic fluid hazard and quick coupling
component damage with conventional QDS quick coupling systems
This is due to the ability to have stored hydraulic pressure trapped in the QDS and operating
machine circuit due to the hydraulic circuit being restricted.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
The solution was to insist via Airly purchasing standards that OEMs include in their design
pressure dissipation devices on the supply of QDS attachments.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
This coupled with site specific DMS CT10 LHDs Airly have dissipation device on both sides of the
QDS quick connect attachments.
This standard of operator protection is not an industry standard.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
By Airly insisting compliance by OEMs to Airly purchasing standards, OEM’s have been forced to
develop system of dissipation for each type attachment they have supplied. Some OEMs have
taken these design changes and made them standard features for their products.
This has in effect raised the standards for supply of QDS equipment across our industry.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
108
This system provides a greater level of safety for all operators and lessens equipment damage
when it comes to connecting and disconnecting QDS attachments.
This system has been identified as best practice during recent Centennial audits and lessons the
likelihood of reportable incidences to the mining inspectorate.

Baldwin & Francis Variable Speed Drive (VSD) unit Positioning plate
Identified Problem:
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
B&F VSD drive unit weighs about 60kg and has to be lined up within two slides, whilst holding
the weight of the drive. This process can be very awkward and puts a lot of strain on the lower
back as the positioning of the drive makes it hard to use proper lifting techniques. Cables must
also be connected to the drive at this stage making the process even more difficult.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
The platform eliminates the need to line up the drive whilst holding the weight, and allows you
to use proper lifting techniques to lift it onto the plate. It is then just a matter of sliding the drive
into place and connecting the cables.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
Using this platform makes the process of changing/fault finding the drives a lot safer for the
men working on it and a lot easier and quicker, thus minimising injury and downtime at the
worksite.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
With a total of 9 B&F drives at the colliery this unit has the potential to be integrated into the
business by making it a standard piece of equipment. Multiple units can be produced and placed
at each belt starter. Standard Work Procedures (SWP’s) can be produced outlining the process
including the correct use of the plate.
The use of this unit is in the best interest of every worker, as the solution has come about from
the thoughts of anyone who has attempted this task.

Risk assessment team in RA‐2152
Risk of injury from accessing Lithgow No.2 dam, survey pin and seepage monitoring
installation and ongoing access
Inability to install Australian Standard compliant guard/railing. The dam wall is greater
than 100 years old and was not designed with access to the top of the dam wall in mind
The installed infrastructure had to be appropriate for the task without encouraging
misuse by the public in a publicly accessible place.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
Unable to eliminate/substitute the risk so the risk assessment team reviewed ways of mitigating
the consequences of injury to personnel that would result from a fall from the dam wall.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
The problem and solution were identified in a risk assessment initiated and conducted
by Clarence Colliery
The risk assessment team reviewed the need for the installation of anchor points on the
wall that met the requirements of AS 1657‐1992.

Title
Reliable Sealed Area Monitoring at Mandalong
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
Waste areas are sealed off and inertised with methane to achieve a fuel rich inert state. This is
done to ensure an inert atmosphere that is not flammable/explosive and will not support
spontaneous combustion.
Major disasters such as Sago have highlighted the criticality of sealed area management, and
this in turn has driven increased focus and regulation with respect to the requirement to
withdraw people where explosive atmospheres are detected
Unfortunately no seal is 100% airtight, and changes in pressure due to barometric pressure
variations or ventilation changes can cause seals to “breathe” which in turn can cause diluted
samples in the fringe area around the seals where sampling is typically taken from. This dilution
can cause false indications of an explosive atmosphere, which could trigger evacuation un‐
necessarily. Also, any dilution will reduce the concentration of products of combustion which
may lead to spontaneous combustion event not being detected.
Alternatively, repeated “false alarms” triggered by dilution could normalise people to the
occurrence and contribute to a real risk not being identified.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
The solution has been to utilise gas drainage boreholes, which are typically fully grouted, to act
as a conduit for sampling in a location remote from seal sites.
This solution was conceptualised, developed and implemented by the Technical Services Team
at Mandalong Mine.
It mitigates the risk by sampling from a point in the sealed area remote from sources of leakage
and thus gives a true reading of the sealed area atmosphere.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
118
The amount of monitoring points is not specified by legislation. Mandalong has attempted to
maximise knowledge of sealed areas to best control the risks by maintaining a significant
number of sample points.
A “compliant” solution would be to have a minimum number of sample points, thus minimising
the risk of an erroneous sample triggering evacuation.
Mandalong has elected to maximise sampling to gain maximum knowledge regarding the
composition of gases in the sealed area, thus going “beyond compliance”.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
This solution has been developed totally on site. It utilises the pre drainage boreholes which are
always drilled as part of the mining process.
This sampling system will be documented as a standard to ensure consistent application.
Costs are not significant but are integrated into Mandalong’s Business Plan.
The finalisation of the implementation of this innovation will be included in the SPDR for the
Ventilation Officer and Technical Services Superintendent in 2012.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
This innovation is of major value to Mandalong and any other mine that manages sealed areas.
It does require the availability of in seam boreholes, but many “gassy” mines conduct pre‐
drainage and have these boreholes available.
Accurate monitoring of sealed areas is critical to managing the major mining risk of an
underground explosion or heating – this innovation addresses the major issue of sample dilution
that impacts all similar operations.

Title
U/G Bin Top Dust Suppression
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
This problem has been identified from inspections and reports that have escalated to the OHS
Committee.
The problem has been created by the installation of a bin top sizer in an environment of limited
airflow on the intake side of all operations at the mine.
This has created a OHS issue due to high airborne dust exposure levels that Mandalong has been
trying to solve for a number of years.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
A solution has been developed by engaging experts in this area from the University of
Wollongong (UOW), who are in turn working with a company called Techpro on the
development of ultrasonic dust suppression sprays.
The expertise of these organisations has been used to develop an improved dust suppression
system for the bin top area, utilising the UOW skills in airflow/dust modelling and the
suppression ability of these newly developed sprays.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
This solution has produced reduction of 30% in the amount of dust generated in this area.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
Inquiries were initially made into this technology by the Development Superintendent looking to
improve the dust scrubbing ability of the “Drop Box” on the development monorail.
120
Due to the issues with the bin top area, it was decided this was a good area to conduct a trial.
Development and Services Teams worked together on this trail, and the process has been
overseen by the OHS Committee who wants to find a solution to this problem.
121
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
This solution has produced a measured reduction of 30% in the airborne dust generated in this
area.
The technology used has application in other areas at Mandalong and at all underground coal
mines.

Automated Diesel Exhaust Test Station
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
The testing of the quality of diesel exhaust gases in the diluted state underground is a critical
part of providing a safe and healthy workplace.
Unfortunately, there are a number of variables that impact on the test result which include
airflow, positioning of detector, operation of machine during testing and operator reading
instrument.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
The solution has been to install an automated system which controls the variables above. The
test station controls airflow, controls monitoring variables and send the test results to control by
email.
As with all aspects of the mining operation this automation controls the impact of the variables
controlled by operators and ensures accurate testing of diluted exhaust gases.
An essential part of this project has been the preparation of a training video, and this has been
done on site with no external resources.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
This system goes beyond compliance by also automating the recording process by emailing
results to control.
The video, prepared for employee training also goes beyond minimum requirements and has
improved the effectiveness of implementation.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
123
This solution was planned and developed by Mandalong, utilising commercially available
equipment. It was included in the 2011 Business Plan and has recently (Dec 2011) been
completed. The testing station is now being implemented by training each of the mining crews,
which is based on a training video fully developed on site.
124
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
Similar testing stations have been installed at other mines, and this type of facility will be a
necessity for all larger operations.
It could be of benefit to all underground mines.

Title
Improved performance of on board dust suppression system.
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
Mannering purchased a new Joy 12CM12 continuous miner complete with on‐board ventilation
system. This machine was considered to be a dusty machine and the workforce identified that
the airborne dust created from operating this machine were far in excess of existing equipment.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
Dust is now mitigated using two main controls being ventilation and dust suppression. It has
been suggested that a new set of spray manifolds be installed at the bottom of the cutter head.
These new spray manifolds will direct atmoised water both forward at the cutter picks and also
downwards. The sprays directed forward will have a hollow cone spray pattern. This spray
formation will suppress dust at the point it is liberated. The sprays directed downward will have
a flat spray pattern with the spray being directed perpendicular to the centreline of the
machine. The sprays directed downwards will form a curtain of water to hold the dust at the
face giving it longer to drop from suspension. This could reduce dust escaping between the
underside of the cutter frame billowing back alongside the mainframe and entering the
operators work environment.

Integrated First Response Station
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
After reviewing a number of underground simulated emergency response exercises it was
identified that the first aid, emergency and CABA equipment was being stored in different
containers and in some cases in different locations. This could result in confusion in the event of
an incident underground.
Newstan currently utilises M.P.V attachment CABA pods with the emergency gear stored in the
base of the pod, however if these pods are placed too close to other objects, or in muddy floor
conditions, then it may become difficult to retrieve the emergency gear from the pod. This was
highlighted by a Department Mines Inspector who indicated that this had been a problem at
other mines.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
To centralise and contain all first aid, emergency and CABA equipment in the one area Newstan
designed an Integrated First Response Station (CABA, First Aid and Emergency Pod), that can be
transported either by QDS(quick detach system) attachment directly onto a LHD (load haul
dump) machine or with forks, and had two built by Dräger Australia.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
After appraising the first response equipment used at other mines and with an understanding of
the requirements of emergency response Newstan has designed and had manufactured an
Integrated First Response Station which retains this vital equipment in an easily accessible,
single location.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
127
By centralising all emergency equipment in the one pod, Newstan has simplified the process of
transporting this equipment when relocation is required, utilising the current LHD QDS system
and eliminated any confusion that may have occurred when locating this resource in the event
of an emergency. Discussed with the HSEC committee and Newstan’s current workforce the
pods appear to have had only positive feedback prior to their introduction underground
After appraising the first response equipment used at other mines and with an understanding of
the requirements of emergency response Newstan has designed and had manufactured an
Integrated First Response Station which retains this vital equipment in an easily accessible,
single location.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
As a central location for all emergency equipment contained in a production unit, these pods
could simplify the transportation and implementation of emergency equipment in the event of
an underground incident at any underground mine site.

The use of Dincel PVC formwork for sump walls and hand rails
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
When concrete lining Drive Head sumps the normal practice at Springvale was to use form ply
and bolt the ply to the sides or ribs of the sump, pour the concrete, remove the forming after
concrete set then manufacture and install a hand rails.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
Springvale conducted a Risk Assessment then trialled the product call Dincel.
Light weight, Pre‐cut on surface, Fire resistant, Can be extended to include hand railing.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
There was always a delay between the completion of the sump walls and the installation of the
pipe style hand railing. The sump had to be fenced off until the hand railing was completed. In
this process the hand rail is part of the sump wall and is installed at the same time.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and

This process will be utilised at all future sumps. There is a SWP developed for the process.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
Most LW mines have Drive Head sumps to manage the fines and to allow ease in hosing the jib
area down. This product and process could be used at all Centennial Mines that have sumps.

HEALTH AND SAFETY – SPRINGVALE
Title
Serious Incident Presentations (SIPs)
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
A serious incident occurred at Springvale on 7 September 2011 where a Deputy attempting to
dewater a waterhole slipped and fell onto a moving conveyor and became jammed under the
structure‐mounted auxiliary fan.
Although his injuries were minor there was potential for a more serious consequence.
An investigation was conducted and found there was a deviant/cultural violation.
The violation of not isolating correctly when working on or around conveyors could be present
throughout the mine.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
This incident was classified under the Springvale Disciplinary Procedure Policy as a “Major
Breach” resulting in suspension without pay or dismissal.
However, would suspension without pay or dismissal change the employees’ attitudes towards
unsafe practices when working around conveyor belts?
It was decided with the approval of the Government Inspector and the investigation team to
arrange a series of presentations conducted by the Deputy to all crews showing graphic photos
of the re‐enactment.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
Would disciplinary action followed by a standard tool box talk be sufficient? Probably not. This
process added the personal touch and brought real emotion to the presentations, in particular,
when the Deputy showed photos of his kids and spoke about his thoughts when faced with a
near death situation.
At all sessions you could hear a pin drop during the presentation
How the solution is integrated into the business?
133
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
This is not the solution for all serious incidents. If this situation or something similar occurred at
Springvale again then disciplinary action would have to be followed.
This has proven to be a very powerful communication tool but only effective if the person
delivering the presentation is firstly committed and believes in the process and is of such
character that people respect what they are saying.
This communication tool/process could be utilised throughout Centennial mine sites.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
The emotional and visual aspect of this tool gets the message home.
If this tool/process is used correctly then one incident at one site can influence or change the
attitude to safety and environment at all Centennial sites.

School Engagement Program
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
Angus Place Colliery identified an opportunity to assist local school children with their studies
after a year 6 students approached a member of staff to help with an assignment on fossil fuels
and renewable fuels during 2010. As the assignment given was linked primary school curriculum,
it was believed that Centennial could provide factual information on the relevant subject in the
syllabus which could benefit the community.
Solution:
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
Angus Place Colliery approached principals of local schools who coordinated a meeting where
Angus Place expressed their interest in working with the students and teachers to provide
information regarding fuel sources, energy, mining techniques and their associated
environmental impacts. The teachers were excited at the opportunity to work with the colliery
and to discuss how centennial proposed to deliver the information to the students.
Angus Place provided proposed the following program to the teachers which was accepted and
in turn delivered by colliery staff:
School visit‐ Site Environmental and Community Officers to attend and deliver a
presentation linked to the syllabus. Key Topics discussed included: What is energy,
Different Forms of Energy, Examples of renewable an non‐renewable forms of energy,
How coal is mined, Who Centennial is and what we do, why is coal a valuable resource,
how is coal converted to electricity, advantages and disadvantages of coal based
electricity, how they could reduce their impact on the environment and how to save
energy at home.
Teachers were provided a Handbook which provided more detailed information and
activities students could complete in the classroom or for homework such as quizzes,
energy source sudoku, word searches and cross words
Angus Place provided funds to transfer students to and from the Mines Rescue Station
At the Mines Rescue Station students were :
135
‐Given a brief presentation on mining and the environment to recap what was learnt
during the school visit
‐Shown an energy, mining and spill response video
‐Shown mine rescue vehicles and emergency equipment e.g. CABAs
‐The students were then spilt into 3 groups which rotated through virtual reality
software showing underground mining, 3D Dome showing open cut mining,
identified how different substances can be distinguished and tested at home (e.g.
litmus paper and pH probe), demonstrated how spill kits can be used to prevent
harm to the environment and what can be used to home to stop and clean up spills.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
The school engagement program for Angus Place was not focused on mining activities occurring
on site but rather providing factual information and practical assistance to primary school
students and their teachers. It was not required to be completed under our project approval nor
had it had it been requested to be completed by the local community.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
After the opportunity to participate in a school engagement program was identified it was
embraced as a proactive step to integrate Angus Place into the Community. The presentations
and activities to be completed were reviewed by members of staff with children prior to delivery
who similarly saw the program as an excellent way to enhance student learning.
Many Different members of staff participated over the week including Environment and
Community Officers, Mine Manager, Compliance Manager and the Mines Rescue Station.
It was also well received by the HSEC Committee and many members of staff congratulated the
team on their efforts and commented on how well received the program was by their
daughter/son.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
For the Lithgow region centennial is a large source of employment. Many children have a limited
understanding of what their parents do, where they work and under what conditions. The
program exposed the children in a safe and controlled environment to the working life of their
136
parent, brother or sister, grandparent, aunty or uncle or neighbour. The program eased
concerns raised by students about the safety of the mining environment.
In summary Angus Place promoted a positive image of how and why mining is important for the
local community and how we manage our environmental impacts.
As all Centennial operations form part of the local community it is an opportunity for other
mines to pursue which would enhance their image within their own community.

Water Management System Improvements undertaken at Angus Place Colliery
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
Historically Angus Place has been non‐complaint with the water quality criteria prescribed in the
colliery’s EPL. After reviewing the water management system it was evident that to achieve
compliance with the water quality criteria consistently significant action would be required to be
undertaken.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
The colliery has designed and implemented several innovative water management strategies at
various discharge points across the site. These include:
Construction of both a polyethylene and galvanized steel pipeline between the point on
the surface where water exits the underground and discharges via LDP001. It is the
intention of splitting a portion of the water through the pipeline and wetland system to
mix the pH of the underground water to below 8.5 consistently. Bench scale testing has
demonstrated that by preventing the water coming in contact with air the pH remained
similar to the pH of the water underground which was measured at 7.86. This pipeline
was commissioned in November 2011 and results obtained to date have been below the
90th percentile limit of 8.5. The system is scheduled to be further upgraded in the 1st
quarter of 2012 with a pH probe linked to an acid dosing system and a turbidity probe
liked to a coagulant dosing system to aid in the management of pH and TSS under
altered pumping conditions
Implementation of controlled discharge system at LDP002 whereby additional sampling
sites have been established to determine the water quality at the 2 settling areas prior
to discharge. A pipeline with a knife valve has been established between the 2 ponds
and the discharge point. It enables treatment strategies such as coagulant or acid dosing
to occur if water is outside the water quality criteria specified in the EPL. Water level at
the ponds can also be managed at a lower level to enable the capture of rainfall and
allow the residence time to be increased.
138
Engaged a consultant who has successfully designed a site specific coagulant to reduce
the suspended solids (coal fines and clay collides) contained within the runoff from both
the ROM stockpile and Kerosene Vale stockpile area. This is used to treat water settling
in the pond prior to discharge and in an automated dosing system upstream of LDP003
to treat incoming water. This system is currently being upgraded to adjust the dosing
rate of coagulant to suit the volume of water entering the point.
Additionally the colliery has undertaken the following to demonstrate improvements in water
quality management:
Developed a TARP which outlines the action to be taken as water quality limits are
approached or exceeded.
Is using weather forecasts to predict high risk rainfall periods and has analysed historic
metrological data to determine trends. This enables the site to adjust the water
management infrastructure to prepare for additional sediment which is contained
within runoff during rainfall events.
Approached OEH remove Environmental Protection Licence condition L4.2 which stated
“the licensee must not discharge from point 3 unless discharge from point 3 occurs
solely as a result of rainfall event at the premise that is greater than or equal to a 1 in 5
year occurrence interval of 24 hours duration”. This was accepted by OEH on the 22nd
of August. This alteration has allowed the colliery to capture, treat and then release
water to maximise the free board in the settling area
Concreted and lined between settling ponds and discharge points to prevent additional
solids being collected between the ponds and weir and thereby preventing changes in
water quality following treatment to a known TSS concentration
Established a sediment removal schedule for settling ponds to enhance holding capacity
and therefore increase residence time to allow suspended solids contained within runoff
to be removed
Installed V drain near coal stockpile to pile water into a large settling pond
Lined the entry points of settlings ponds with ballast and installed gabion baskets to
prevent additional solids post flocculation being collected and to filter incoming water.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
The colliery is committed to continually improving the water management system to prevent
non‐compliances. The improvements works undertaken and the action taken to prevent non‐
compliances during high risk periods is a reflection of the dedication of the site to control water
139
quality. The work undertaken demonstrates the journey the site has taken throughout 2011 and
is reflected in the sites performance.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
The entire site has a heightened awareness of how environmental performance is linked to our
licence to operate. Members of the HSEC team were taken to the licensed discharge points and
suggested improvement works. Staff accompany the environmental team during inspections
have questioned water management infrastructure and comment on the levels and clarity of the
water on site and question what we are doing to fix it. Environmental awareness slides and
improvement works are also shown to the workforce regularly.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
It is critical that the innovative solutions adopted by a site and the improvement works
undertaken is communicated across Centennials operations so similar mines can adapt suitable
solutions to problems shared.
By promoting the importance of environmental performance amongst the entire staff the
success of improvements works has been celebrated and aided in the integration of
environment into the business.

CHPP Diesel Tank Isolation System
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
A Hydrocarbon spill during the refuelling of equipment needed to be contained within the
refuelling bund. The project team identified the concept and criteria that guided the
consultants when designing the refuelling system. The system was developed from a desire to
ensure contamination of an area was kept to a small footprint and the process was automated.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
Through the design process an automated isolation system was developed to contain a
hydrocarbon spill at the CHPP diesel tank refuelling bund.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
The idea was generated by the project team during a review of the proposed design for
refuelling at the CHPP diesel tank. The isolation system provided an additional barrier to contain
a hydrocarbon spill.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
The isolation system was included with the construction of the new above ground diesel at the
CHPP in 2011. The isolation system is also proposed for the new above ground diesel tanks to be
constructed at the Pit Top.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
The isolation system could be applied to other bunded refuelling sites on other mines.

Improved Dirty Water Management at Cooranbong Services Site
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
Cooranbong Services site has been the cause of a number of Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
exceedances, which have ultimately resulted in Mandalong Mine receiving a Penalty
Infringement Notice from the EPA.
It was determined that positive action must be taken to reduce the risk of further recurrences.
Based on a review of expert reports, it was identified that the traditional approach of using
settling dams to manage poor quality run off from Coal Storage Areas was not practical due to
the size of dams required and the surface area required for the construction of such dams.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
A design is being developed to install a series of vertical surface to seam boreholes to drain
sediment laden water from the existing water treatment dams into underground workings. This
water will then migrate towards an old waste workings area that is currently used for the
treatment and storage of underground mine water. Due to the extensive standage area and the
significant opportunity for solids to settle out, this area has been very effective at producing
mine water with very low TSS levels.
A critical feature of this innovations as its design is the fact that no pumps are required – all
movement of water will be by gravity, which removes the risk of a plant failure, does not require
energy thus making it the most reliable and sustainable solution. It does not rely on people
taking action – when the water rises to the level, discharge into the UG workings will
commence.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
Current licence limits are 50mg/l. Based on Mandalong’s experience with the treatment of mine
water, it is expected that water discharged from the mine will be approximately 10‐20 mg/l
consistently.
145
This level is well below the licence limit and will significantly reduce the sediment loading on the
receiving waters.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
This innovation is an example of the integration of a number of disciplines within the mine to
achieve an environmental improvement objective. Mining, Engineering, Surveying and
Environmental people have all contributed to the design of this system.
The expenditure is integrated into Mandalong’s 2012 Business Plan.
As a capital project its progress will be monitored by normal management meetings.
The successful completion of this project will be integrated into the SPDR documents of Mining,
Surveying and Environmental people at the mine.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
This solution could be applied to other mines that have underground workings in proximity to
surface water treatment facilities, but would also require suitable storage area underground and
a suitable pumping system pump out the treated water.
Other mines utilise old workings for water management and tailing disposal, but rely on pumps
as part of the process.

Power Factor Correction Control Upgrade
Identified Problem
What, who identified the problem, how the problem was assessed, what was the identified risk
associated with the problem.
In 2000, Myuna installed two Power Factor Correction Plants. The original ABB controllers which
came with these plants had no alarms, hardware monitoring, power usage metering or Citect
support. If a fault occurred on the plant, then the only notification was through an amber light
that flashed on top of the Power Factor Correction Plants. In 2010, this light globe failed. The
Units also tripped off, going unnoticed for 7 months.
Each day the power factor correction units are not working, the colliery needlessly consumed
29,551 kwh, which is equivalent to 26 CO2‐eT and costs the company $2,088.
For the 7 months the plants were offline, the Colliery consumed an additional 6,205,710 kWh,
5,523 CO2‐eT, and cost the Colliery more than $479,862.73.
Solution
What, how the solution came about, how the solution mitigated the risk.
As a result, Myuna replaced the existing hardware with more robust technology. This involved
the installation of PLC controllers, Panel View touch screen interfaces and metering equipment
which can be integrated into the site SCADA system (Citect).
By upgrading the control system, reliable communication and monitoring have been established
enabling the user to be notified of a fault through the Citect alarm system.
This new system not only allows increased monitoring of power usage, but allows Myuna to
continue to save electricity and reduce carbon emissions by decreasing the down time of the
units.
How the solution goes beyond compliance:
The power factor correction units are not a legislative requirement.
The upgrade was also not a requirement, however it improves our monitoring abilities, and has
an alarm function which allows Myuna to monitor and maintain the equipment to its full
capabilities.
147
Each day the power factor correction units are working, the colliery reduces its power
consumption 29,551 kwh, which is equivalent to 26 CO2‐eT.
How the solution is integrated into the business?
That is, demonstrated continuity of the solution at the site ‐ over a number of years) and
independent (that is, the solution is beyond just one person driving the outcome ‐ it is truly
integrated into how the site operates).
The new control unit is linked to Citect, and doesn’t require a person to check the units
manually.
If there is a fault or failure with the power factor correction units, Citect alarms informing mine
personnel of the problem.
The controller logs the power consumption of the mine every day providing a wide variety of
information accessible to the user through Citect, these include:
Approximate energy cost
Power factor tariff charge
Energy consumption across the peak, shoulder and off‐peak periods
Average daily consumption
Average power factor
This will prevent a repeat of the system being down without mine personnel being aware.
Having the Power Factor Correction units working efficiently almost halves the required current
to achieve the same power output. This increases transmission and motor efficiencies, which in
turn results in extended motor life and smaller cable sizes.
Benefit
Benefit of the solution to Centennial ‐ how could other sites (or industry) benefit from the
solution, has it been adopted elsewhere?
The installation of the new controller will mean that not only can we monitor our usage, there is
an automatic alarm through the Citect system if there is a fault. The new system also has fault
finding capabilities. This will allow the units to be repaired quickly and allows us to maintain the
system to its full potential.
148
Due to the Power Factor Correction Myuna’s energy consumption is reduced by approximately
32% through the improvement of transmission and motor efficiencies.
This controller can be installed on other Power Factor Correction Plants, preventing another
occurrence similar to what has occurred at Myuna Colliery.
