During the past financial year Delta’s main activities included whole of mine operations at Berrima coal mine; roadway development at Whitehaven’s Narrabri mine; roadway development, secondary support and drill and blast activities at Illawarra Coal’s Appin mine; secondary support and outbye services at Peabody’s Metropolitan mine; and longwall move/support services at Xstrata’s Ravensworth and Ulan mines, Peabody’s Wambo mine, Anglocoal’s Grasstree mine, BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance’s Broadmeadow mine and Whitehaven’s Narrabri mine.

The group continued to grow its longwall move capability during the year, buying one 60 tonne loader, two 15t loaders, five chock trailers and a 130t longwall shearer carrier.

The units were deployed on the Narrabri longwall installation project.

Other assets, including two continuous miners, were also acquired to allow the group to undertake turnkey roadway development work.

Delta SBD managing director and chief executive officer Steve Bizzaca said the growth the company enjoyed vindicated its decision to expand its purpose-built fleet during the year.

“We expect further solid bottom line growth by Delta SBD in FY13, notwithstanding the current weakness in coal prices being experienced in New South Wales and Queensland,” he said.

Delta’s workbook for the next three years, excluding non-contractual recurring work, stands at $250 million.

The FY13 portion of the workbook already exceeds FY12’s $118.8 million revenue result.
