DEM is a software tool that provides accurate visual simulation of how bulk material flows and interacts with equipment, such as transfer chutes, underground production hoists, and run of mine (ROM) ore sizer systems.

Clean technologies form the basis of our ongoing transition to a greener economy. Certain metals and minerals are integral to these clean technologies, but carbon intensive mining processes continue to hold us back. Is nuclear uniquely positioned to address this issue?

When employees feel psychologically safe in their work environment, they are more productive and loyal, which in turn leads to higher productivity and ultimately, higher success rates as an organization.

Alongside the benefits of replacing conventional power plants with small modular reactors, should we also be considering other long-standing issues before throwing the nuclear switch?

The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will trigger changes in the Federal Transit Law that will affect safety management. At Hatch, we are uniquely positioned to assist transportation agencies in understanding and addressing this new legislation.

Studies have shown that diverse teams are smarter, happier, healthier, and more likely to form thoughtful decisions and deep connections as a group. With the current lack of diversity in engineering, how can we leverage what we know about diversity and use this within our project design teams?

There is renewed interest in nuclear energy projects throughout the world. Countries that had previously moved away from nuclear solutions have shown interest in the industry’s latest offerings – SMRs and vSMRs. These can offer a zero-carbon solution to a wide range of end users. Are there specific benefits for the mining industry?

Most automotive companies tend to be locked into manufacturing facilities and labor agreements tied to their existing business models. Successfully transitioning to a top tier EV provider will require traditional automobile manufacturers to develop and learn skills beyond legacy vehicle engineering. But how?

The average person most likely doesn’t see the value in haul roads. But for mining clients, who use them over 300 times a day to transport materials to and from a site, they are worth their weight in gold.

The US is investing substantial funding for the research and development of geothermal related energy. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes the allocation of millions of dollars for geothermal demonstration plant projects and advanced energy manufacturing related to enhanced geothermal systems.
