Boonal Haul Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Contract

The Boonal Haul Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Contract is a shining example of capabilities of Exact Civil Construction as a reliable and experienced civil and mining infrastructure contractor. Following delivery of three crucial stages involving upgrades and reconstruction works in 2015, 2019, and 2020, Exact Civil Construction were awarded a 12-month Maintenance and Rehabilitation Contract by Boonal Joint Venture (comprised of Yarrabee Coal Company and Jellinbah Mining Pty Ltd) in February 2020.

Situated 30 kilometres northeast of Blackwater, Queensland, the Yarrabee and Jellinbah Coal Mines play a vital role in the region's coal industry. The Boonal Haul Road, extending 30 kilometres, serves as the primary link to the mine and accommodates both light vehicles and robust 200-tonne triple road trains responsible for coal transportation to the Boonal load-out facility, where it is destined for the Capricorn Highway by rail.

Our journey as the Boonal Haul Road's Maintenance Contractor has now entered its fourth year, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to excellence and the establishment of successful partnerships with all Project stakeholders, including all members of the Boonal Joint Venture and Yarrabee Coal Mine.

Key components of the scope include bitumen haul road construction and maintenance services, ensuring the road remains in high quality condition which involves patching work activities, encompassing everything from minor repairs to comprehensive road reconstruction and rehabilitation to maintaining road durability. The scope also includes maintenance of guide posts and the road verge to optimise safety and functionality for all road users.
