Australian-based coal miner Cokal will increase metallurgical coal production at its Bumi Barito mine in Indonesia upon the completion of an upgraded haul road.
The haul road is enough to support initial hauling of coal for the current condition, Cokal said it will look to raise coal output and continue upgrading the road if needed.
Planned works at the site are set to lift truck carrying capacity and cut hauling times through reducing the road gradient at critical sections of the road.
"These upgrades will increase both coal transport capacity and operational efficiency, resulting in a reduction in per tonne operating costs," Cokal said in an announcement.
"This will be achieved via an increase in the carrying capacity of trucks, which can currently only operate at 50 % capacity, and a reduction in the required time trucks take to complete a trip.”
The developments of the haul road are set to commence in February, and will be completed over two stages. During the works, three large bridges and 15 culverts will be upgraded.
