ABOUT IMC
Illawarra Metallurgical Coal (IMC) produces premium-quality, hard coking coal for steelmaking, which is transported within Australia and around the world. We operate two underground metallurgical coal mines, two preparation plants and a logistics chain.
ABOUT UNDERGROUND COAL SURVEYING
Surveying in an underground coal mine involves the use of a surveying total station to accurately measure angles and distances. These measurements are then used to calculate coordinates as part of a surveying network used to provide guidance and direction for mining. Surveyors also maintain a series of plans used through the mine.

- Study leave and education assistance.
