Initial high level concept studies through to pre- and feasibility studies to ensure that projects are economically viable.

1. New mines

• Vertical and decline shaft designs
• Shaft sinking systems
• Material handling systems (conveying systems, crushing & grinding systems, storage and reclamation systems, waste and tailings disposal systems)

2. Refurbishment and rehabilitation of existing mines:

• Aging shaft and other infrastructure
• Design & upgrading of shaft hoisting systems

3. Design & engineering of plant:

• Mechanical, electrical, control and instrumentation
• Complete Minerals Process Plant Systems including design, fabrication, erection and commissioning

4. Structural and civil engineering

5. Tunnels, declines and underground infrastructure

• Owner’s engineering team
• Project management
• Fabrication and construction inspections

• Shaft sinking; lateral and decline developments; tunnelling
• Construction and installation of underground temporary and permanent infrastructure (including shaft towers headgears, winders, ropes, dams, pump stations, workshops, settlers, sub-stations conveyors and ore passes)
• Surface infrastructure – mining (winder foundations, winder houses, shaft pads, services infrastructure, change houses, administration buildings)
• Surface infrastructure – process plants (Fabrication, erection of mills, tanks & settlers)
• Large underground excavations for crusher and conveyor systems, winders, settlers, hydro power or pump storage power plants; normal or high-pressure oil and gas

New commissioning, re-commissioning, and retro-commissioning of mine and process plant infrastructure:

• Pre-commissioning: pre-functional instrument checks and punch lists of equipment and control systems; site acceptance testing of equipment and control systems; instrument checks
• Commissioning: cold commissioning of various individual systems, groups of systems or partial systems before commencement of full production
• Start-up and handover: provision of engineering support as required by the owner as plant goes into operation

• Full shaft technical audits
  Full shaft system health and optimisation inspections and audits, including safety systems, wear and tear inspections to ensure that shaft infrastructure (including headgears) complies with all legal requirements.
• Shaft refurbishment
  Repairs, refurbishment and upgrades to aging and damaged shaft systems including production improvements to ensure optimum mine and production performance.
• SHEQ services
  We offer our clients a comprehensive suite of SHEQ services namely:
  • Preparation and facilitation of Safety, Health, Quality, and Risk “deliverables” across project studies i.e., concept to feasibility
  • Provision of Professional Construction Health & Safety Agent services
  • Provision of all Safety, Health, Environmental, Quality, and Risk services for construction (implementation) projects
  • SHEQ Assurance services with both guidance and assistance regarding improvement actions
  • Development and provision of non-accredited SHEQ training courses aimed at construction projects (based on Client needs)
