Sandvik Mining and Construction receives major order for materials-handling
system in the Netherlands

Sandvik Mining and Construction has signed an agreement with the energy company
RWE Power AG in the Netherlands for a turnkey materials-handling system. 

The value of the order is approximately 650 MSEK and comprises a complete
materials-handling system for the Eemshaven Power Plant in the Netherlands. The
project includes two grab-type ship unloaders, two stackers and three portal
reclaimers. In addition to the mobile equipment, Sandvik will deliver a
high-performance conveyor system with 38 conveyors for coal, which is also
suitable for biomass. For environmental reasons, the conveyors will be enclosed
using a state-of-the-art chute design. 

“This order confirms Sandvik's strong customer offering and demonstrates our
capabilities of providing excellent technical solutions based on Sandvik's vast
experience in designing and supporting complete materials-handling systems,”
says Lars Josefsson, President of Sandvik Mining and Construction.
