An intelligent, greener coal yard supplied by CISDI has successfully completed its pilot production tests at Jiadong’s stockyard plant at Jiuquan Iron and Steel Co.

The Guangxi Province project was built by CISDI to an EPC mode. Its eco-friendly, intelligent yard ECIA patented tech was applied.

Coal yard 1 has a general span of 100 metres and is 282 metres in length. With the help of a cantilever reversing belt conveyor, two tripper cars sharing one rail achieve coal stacking at one or both sides. The tripper cars are interchangeable.

CISDI created the coloured tiles for the yard’s top arched shed as one whole section and installed it in a single process, using a deck-type, movable elevated pressing platform and a tile press. This method greatly reduced the construction schedule.

In addition to coal yard 1, JISCO’s stockyard plant has a further two 100-metre-span yards, which have the relevant charging and discharging facilities.

They cover a 90,000 square metre footprint and once completed, will be able to store at least a million tonnes.

Coal yard 1 broke ground in April 2022. The entire CISDI team made huge efforts in the face of difficulties posed by the pandemic, winter conditions and sandstorms and ensured every milestone arrived on schedule and to quality standards.
