Coal & Energy
The merging of coal and energy in a single business unit addresses the global demand for energy solutions in various forms such as coal, coal seam gas, oil sands, geothermal and nuclear, with the consultancy services to support this.
Coal Expertise
Our team includes geological, geotechnical, and mining specialists with extensive experience in coal seam gas, open cut and underground coal mining, uranium exploration, and exploitation.
Coal Innovation
Our consultants keep abreast of the latest technical developments and are constantly developing tools to do the important things more efficiently. Coal & Energy has a combined practical experience base spanning some 200 years and has access to the much greater AMC knowledge base. This combination gives AMC a unique ability to quickly assess options and solve problems, including the use of specialist software packages such as MineOpSim (to simulate the total mine environment), LOBOS® (to optimise mining schedules), Benchmarking, the Hill of Value business and project optimizer.
Coal Services
A wide range of projects has been completed for small and large clients, in Australia and overseas. Some examples of these include:
