WHAT WE DO
Our Process
In the vast arid desert landscape of Tharparkar, we continue to mine the black gold. The
process of open-pit mining largely encompasses the following key steps:
1
Estimate Coal Seams
Teams of geologists and engineers estimate quantity, quality and depth of coal in a proposed area through a variety of proven methods, utilizing computer modeling software and data including information from core drilling.
1
Evaluate Environmental Factors
Environmental engineers and reclamation specialists evaluate a proposed area carefully, considering location, terrestrial and aquatic resources, topography, proximity to residents, and many other factors.
1
Develop Mine Plan
Mining engineers outline how to mine and restore the property once mining is complete through computer-aided sequencing and three-dimensional modeling.
1
Mine The Coal
When planning is completed and all permits granted, mining begins. Seams of coal may be close to the surface or buried deep underground. Surface mining is the technique used when coal is found near the surface. Surface mines use large earth-moving equipment, such as excavators, shovels and loaders.
1
Ship Coal To Customers
Some coal is cleaned, sorted and crushed to different sizes at crushing plants before loading for delivery, while other coal is shipped raw. SECMC usually and currently ships its coal to the power park in Thar Block II using coal dump trucks.
