CONSOL Energy's Shoemaker mine completes modernization project, looks like a young Jack Lalanne

摘要

CONSOL Energy has started operation of a new fully belt coal haulage transport system at its Shoemaker mine near Moundsville, WV. Part of a total 205 million dollars capital improvement project begun at Shoemaker in 2003, actual underground work started in February 2006, with initial preparations to install a crossover belt and the rehabilitation of the 6 North shaft bottom area. The new, full conveyor belt haulage system transports all coal production from underground and replaces the previous method of moving coal via rail-cars.
