Coal Pile Management
Plants that need to burn large quantities of coal also need to maintain large coal reserves. The most common way of storing coal is in large outdoor storage piles. Coal pile management involves moving coal to and from storage piles, and maintaining the piles to deal with coal pile fires and environmental factors such as rain and wind.
