Transforming mining through innovation

We deliver end-to-end engineering and scientific expertise for the mining and metals industry - from early investigations and system design to procurement, project management, and technical support.

By incorporating advanced simulation tools, digital twins, and specialised asset monitoring, we help you enhance productivity, extend equipment life, and ensure operational safety - while meeting sustainability goals.

Mining under pressure operational and environmental demands

Asset reliability and lifecycle performance

Aging equipment and inefficiencies cause costly downtime and safety risks. We extend asset life without compromising performance through condition monitoring, lifecycle assessments, and predictive maintenance.

Cost, efficiency and operational pressure

Rising energy use and maintenance demands increase costs and pressure to optimise. We help improve throughput, reduce waste, and boost energy efficiency across operations.

Environmental responsibility and compliance

Emissions, tailings, and land-use impacts challenge ESG targets. We help integrate resilient infrastructure and sustainable practices to ensure health, safety, and environmental compliance.

Produced and industrial wastewater

Managing produced water and industrial wastewater is a critical challenge. We specialise in modelling water quality and produced formation water discharges to ensure pollutant loadings are compliant and manageable

Hazardous waste and site contamination

Decommissioning and extraction often leave hazardous waste and contamination. We tackle these through groundwater assessments, vegetative capping, and remediation planning to safely restore sites.

Regulatory complexity and compliance risk

Complex environmental regulations create operational challenges. We provide regulatory guidance, compliance auditing, and risk management to support confident operations across jurisdictions.

Success stories

Detailed design for Abbot Point Coal Terminal

Adani Abbot Point Terminal Pty Ltd acquired the existing Abbot Point Export Terminal

  • Designed for 60 Mtpa coal export capacity
  • Full detailed design under tight deadlines
  • Structural steel marine infrastructure throughout

Sebuku Mine Expansion Project Feasibility Study, Indonesia

We completed a multi-million dollar feasibility study to assess the commercial, technical and environmental viability of the Sebuku mine expansion project in Kalimantan, Indonesia

  • Capacity expansion from 2 to 8.5 Mtpa in Kalimantan
  • Open-cut mining near the ocean—a new technique introduced in Indonesia
  • Found economically viable; project meets customer and brief needs
Case study

Water Quality Management Framework for Ranger Mine Closure

We were engaged by ERA to develop a water quality management framework for mine closure

  • Developed framework to protect waterways near Ranger mine after closure
  • Involved stakeholder and scientific workshops, data review, water quality modelling
  • Set objectives for different water types, values, and key threats
Case study

Conveyor Design, Loy Yang Coal and Overburden Conveyors

We were commissioned to design coal and overburden conveyors for the Loy Yang mine, ensuring efficient construction, fabrication, and installation

  • Designed coal and overburden conveyors
  • Enabled offshore fabrication in China
  • Allowed pre-assembly, minimizing outage during Loy Yang change-over
