MINE PROJECT SUCCESS OF THE YEAR
Australian Mining
|December 2024
THE MAXWELL UNDERGROUND COAL MINE IN NEW SOUTH WALES IS OFF TO A STRONG START THANKS TO WORK COMPLETED BY ROBSON CIVIL PROJECTS.

Robson Civil Projects knows what it takes to get the job done.
So, when Malabar Resources reached out to the company to complete works at its Maxwell underground coal project in New South Wales, there was no doubt the Robson team would be perfect for the job.
Robson's scope at Maxwell involved underground mine entry works and a 10km access road and conveyer trace.
The works also involved the installation of 10 dams and all surface drainage.
And the work was a resounding success.
"Over the course of the project, Robson moved over 1.5 million cubic metres of material and placed 40,000 cubic metres of pavement material," Robson said.
"Consistent communication and collaboration were essential for the success of the project. Construction methodologies were adapted to site and geotechnical conditions as they were discovered.
