Coal Handling System | Stockpile Management | Quality Control
Blending | Computerized Control System

The terminal is equipped with a dust suppression water spray system for controlling dust during inloading stockpiling and outloading operations. These sprays are located around the stockpile areas and at strategic points within conveyor transfer points. Industrial water for the sprays is re-circulated from the stockpile drainage settling ponds and is filtered before reuse.

The temperature of the coal stockpile is monitored daily with thermal probes as a precaution against heating. Where necessary, coal is compacted by bulldozers as an additional precaution however as IBT is designed as a transit terminal and has a first in first out policy on coal stocks, turnover is generally rapid and problems associated with heating are never an issue.
