Mine Groundwater Management, Latrobe Valley, Victoria

Print This Article

Loy Yang Mine is a dedicated open cut coal mine in Victoria, which excavates more than 30 megatonnes of brown coal per year to supply power stations and industry.

GHD has developed numerical groundwater flow models of the mine that were used to assist in the medium and long-term planning of aquifer depressurisation, to test the impact of different aquifer depressurisation strategies and to determine aquifer pressure requirements to maintain mine stability.

GHD also locates and designs the depressurisation and aquifer pressure monitoring bores and associated telemetry system, design bore headworks and water collection systems.
