Structures and plant definition for processing sites
Remote sites, heavy static and dynamic loads, and a plant layout that has to be settled before anything is ordered.
Mineral processing shares most of its engineering with metallurgy: bulk material moving through a plant, structures carrying equipment that vibrates, and utilities feeding a process that cannot be interrupted cheaply. What changes is the site, which is often remote enough that a design error becomes a logistics problem as well as a technical one.
Our contribution here is the structural, piping and plant-definition work that sets the layout and the interfaces early, so procurement can start against a scope that will not move.
What we do in this sector
Structural design
Steel structures, equipment support and foundations for processing plants and bulk handling.
Piping
Process and utility piping design with stress analysis and support design to international codes.
Plant definition
Layout, equipment list and interface definition that fix the technical scope before procurement.
Where we have done it
MAXAM (Australia, 2023): engineering services covering structural design, piping and plant definition. The adjacent bulk-handling and structural work in our steel portfolio, including scrap yard design and 150 M EUR of civil and structural scope for a Middle East melt shop complex, applies directly to this sector.
