Mining & Resources
Engineering design and simulation in the mining and resources industry provides substantial benefits by optimising operations, improving safety, and reducing costs. From extraction to materials handling and processing, we apply simulation to predict performance and identify potential inefficiencies or hazards. This allows for the refinement of designs before implementation, reducing the risk of costly downtime, equipment failure and safety incidents. Additionally, simulation helps in planning and designing more sustainable practices, including optimisation of energy use and minimisation of environmental impacts. Overall, engineering design and simulation enhance operational efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and supports more sustainable and safer mining operations.
We provide a wide range of engineering design and simulation services to the mining and resources industry, including:
- Surface and underground mining equipment and vehicles.
- Bulk materials handling systems including conveyors, chutes, transfer stations, bins, hoppers, rotary valves and weight belt feeders.
- Bins/hoppers, chutes, transfer stations, rotary values, weight belt feeders, belt/screw conveyors and car dumpers.
- Excavators, stackers and reclaimers.
- Rail car dumpers.
- Safety barriers.
- Fans/blowers and impellers.
- Mine shaft ventilation studies.
- Support structures and foundations.
Engineering Design
Analysis driven design solutions that minimise capital and operating costs and maximise service life.
Advanced Simulation
Leading edge engineering analysis accurately visualises and quantifies problems leading to the development of optimised solutions.
Vibration & Fatigue Analysis
Correlating measurement with virtual testing allows vibration issues to be identified and fatigue life to be determined.
