Innovative Engineering Design Services for the Coal Preparation Industry

Specialising in brownfields upgrades, CTE leverages advanced design systems to predictably and efficiently deliver optimised project deliverables.

Having successfully completed over 100 projects under budget and without modifications – CTE Coal has emerged as a modern catalyst in fit-for-purpose coal preparation design and operation. By challenging conventional design methods, CTE Coal is able to reduce project timelines, repurpose existing equipment and minimise environmental impact.

Reduced Plant Interactions

Detailed pre-project audits of existing plant equipment allows CTE Coal to evaluate what equipment can be reused to effectively reduce the final project scope and cost.

CTE Coal utilises 3D modelling software to produce improved deliverable for design focussing on 3D modelling over 2D drawings to modernise and expedite the design process.
