Three year extension for Bis

MINING services company Bis has been awarded a three-year contract extension to provide haulage services for Whitehaven Coal’s Tarrawonga and Rocglen coal mines in NSW.

Bis would deliver a new fleet of enhanced prime movers to support the Gunnedah operations.

The bespoke haulage solution provided greater payload capacity, while reducing the number of prime movers, delivering cost efficiencies and benefits to Whitehaven Coal.

One way trips would also be reduced by 36 per cent (about 48 000 fewer trips per annum when compared to the current fleet) which would reduce vehicle emissions, and contribute to improved local road safety.
