Capabilities

Mine design & planning

With worldwide expertise in the design, specification, selection, and optimization of different mining methods, we make the most of your operation. Base metals, industrial minerals, precious metals, rare earths, and other mined commodities—we cover surface and underground operations, including the transition process.

Mine ventilation

Our clients count on us for complete service packages to design and install state-of-the-art ventilation, heating, and cooling systems. We work the entire scope, from conceptual design to full-detailed engineering and implementation.

Shafts & hoisting systems

We know mine-shaft and hoist design. Hoist-duty cycles are calculated and specifications drawn up to identify and obtain the exact equipment your mining operation needs. Shaft and station steelwork are custom-designed, conforming to codes developed specifically for high-speed and high-capacity hoisting systems.

Headgears are laid out to match your mine's shaft and hoist configurations, always conforming to internationally accepted codes and standards. They can be steel or concrete, situated on the surface or underground. We can help you fully automate rock handling in the shafts, maximizing output while reducing the need for human interface.

Dynamic simulation

Our mining experts can produce dynamic life-of-mine simulations for complete mine systems and processes. From rock-breaking at the face, to loading, stockpiling, and transporting rock for various mining methods; from logistics and transporting personnel and materials for deep ore bodies to large open-pit operations; we have it covered.

Backfill

Selecting the best backfill systems, methods of distribution, and materials-handling processes are major considerations in underground mine design, planning, and production. All over the world, we've helped operations like yours make the right choices.

We've got the expertise to establish backfill system characteristics. We can determine the highest quality, most cost-effective mixture-and-delivery method to support your mine's production requirements.
