A major metallurgical coal producer near the US Gulf Coast supplying a high-quality, high-value met coal for the world market at nearly eight million short tons annually had slated a new mine operation for development that would double their production.\u00a0<\/p>

PLG was engaged to identify operational and infrastructure risks of the client\u2019s current supply chain and determine necessary improvements with new supply chain strategies to accommodate a 54% volume increase from a new mine location while improving their competitiveness.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
