Bis provided a range of load and haul and site services to Glencore Australia’s Newlands mine site. Key contract components include:
The on-site Bis workshop played an integral role in servicing and maintaining the fleet that service the contract.
Development at the wholly Glencore-run Newlands began in 1981, with coal mining operations commencing in 1983.
The Newlands mine site was part of the GCAA Project, a mining, processing and exporting partnership which included the Newlands open cut operations, the Collinsville open cut mine.
Long-term partnership
We are proud to have been part of the Newlands operations since 1998, working in collaboration with the Glencore team to deliver tangible efficiency and productivity benefits.
Late 2018 saw the latest contract renewal for the Bis and Glencore partnership at the Newlands mine.
Commenting on the contract award, Glencore Operations Manager – Newlands Paul Sear said: “We have enjoyed a positive, long-term partnership with Bis at Newlands. Bis’ strong commitment to delivering safe and innovative solutions that add value to our operation has been recognised in this contract renewal, and we look forward to continuing our successful relationship with the team.”
DPRT innovation
Bis invested in a fleet of high payload dual-powered road train technology (DPRT) to maximise Glencore’s production requirements and provide production and haulage efficiencies across the operation. Bis’ ability to move bulk commodities in smarter, safer and more reliable ways continued to drive efficiencies at the site.
Rexx on site
A collaboration between Glencore and Bis saw Rexx – the new 160-tonne innovative mining haul truck - working on site at Newlands from July 2020. Its first operational role at an Eastern seaboard mine was testament to its growing reputation for productivity, safety and cost effectiveness on the West Coast.
