Engineering and Consulting for the Mining Sector

We design, evaluate, and optimize every stage of your mining projects, from conceptual studies to advanced engineering execution.

We specialize in the development of comprehensive projects for mineral processing plants and underground mining. We cover all stages: conceptual, basic, and detailed engineering, as well as expansions and operational improvements.

We also provide specialized consulting in processes, the environment, and optimization of existing plants, delivering tailored solutions that guarantee efficiency, sustainability, and measurable results.

What does each engineering stage include?

🔍 Did you know that every successful project starts with a well-defined engineering sequence? In underground mining or beneficiation plants, each stage—conceptual, basic, and detailed—allows for technical and economic decisions with lower risk and greater precision. Many delays or cost overruns occur when one of these phases is omitted.

Conceptual Engineering

We evaluate technical alternatives, estimate preliminary costs, and define project feasibility. This stage includes preliminary budgets, flowcharts and design criteria, and conceptual general plans.

Basic Engineering

We develop general plans, equipment specifications, investment estimates, and feasibility studies.

This stage defines the feasibility of the project and establishes the technical bases for its bidding, approval or financing.

Detailed Engineering

We produce all construction plans, isometric views, electrical, civil, and mechanical diagrams. These include structural calculations, specifications, and bills of materials. We also prepare a more accurate investment estimate for project execution.
