Mine substation

[mbrooke]

hard to say
total cost of sub 1.6-1.7 mil
xfmrs 600 k +
sg 200 k
structure/fuses/disconnects 200 k +
install/assembly 200 k
borehole/conductor 300 k
misc inhouse costs 100 k

I would guess 100 k difference including install
but remember, this is a temporary facility
tear down would be more $$$

Makes sense and $$$ well spent :thumbsup:

Natural gas is killing the coal industry. :thumbsup:

it sure is hurting it
but coal will be 30% of capacity for 20+ years
But this could change with lng exports
the first terminal went online last year near Baltimore, shipping to europe
perry just signed a permit for one on the gulf in TX, south america and asia
this will increase demand and increase cost
this may benefit coal

despite this a large mining operation is being marketed for sale
dozens of letters of interest
narrowed to 5
3 bil valuation on a production of 25 mil tons/yr at $45-50/ton
one lw section is the highest producing in the world based on btus
