Core capabilities
Engineering services
Practical scopes aligned to study stage gates, procurement and site delivery — from brownfield upgrades to greenfield developments.
Delivery model
Project lifecycle support
We align civil and structural deliverables to each study stage gate so design intent, constructability and operational requirements stay connected from concept through commissioning.
Whether you need PFS layouts, FS design basis, IFC packages or construction support, our team scales scope to your programme — including coordination with EPCM, owners and site personnel on brownfield tie-ins and shutdown windows.
Sectors
Industry focus
Deep experience across Australian resource and heavy-industrial environments — where structural reliability, safety and production continuity matter most.
Coal mining
Underground and open-cut coal infrastructure
Civil and structural engineering for wash plants, conveyors, stockpiles, ventilation structures, CHPP upgrades and mine-site civil works across Queensland and New South Wales. We support brownfield life extension and greenfield expansions with constructable, standards-compliant design.
- Conveyor and transfer structures
- Silo and bin design
- Site civil and drainage
- Structural integrity assessments
Copper & gold mining
Metals mine processing and site infrastructure
Structural and civil design for concentrators, ROM pads, workshops, tailings-related structures and remote site infrastructure. Experience includes greenfield gold developments and operational support for structural integrity and remedial works.
- Processing plant structures
- Foundations and equipment supports
- Integrity inspections
- Remedial methodologies
Mineral sands
Refinery and mineral separation facilities
Engineering for greenfield and brownfield mineral sands refineries — layout, structural steel, concrete, pipe racks and equipment foundations. We have delivered detailed and preliminary design for multiple Australian mineral sands projects.
- Refinery structural design
- Preliminary & detailed design
- Equipment foundations
- Brownfield tie-ins
Ports & coal terminals
Materials handling, berths and port civil works
Structural engineering for shiploaders, conveyors, transfer stations, berths, pontoons and port civil infrastructure. Our work focuses on asset life extension, cyclone resilience and operational reliability for coal and bulk terminals.
- Berth and jetty structures
- Shiploader upgrades
- Conveyor galleries
- Pavement and civil works
Alumina, refineries & steel
Heavy industrial plants and steel mill assets
Civil and structural advisory, detailed design and integrity services for alumina refineries, steel mills and process plants. Including stack and chimney remediation, furnace structures and brownfield upgrade packages.
- Stack and chimney remediation
- Process structure design
- Concrete repair methodologies
- Shutdown support
Bridges & civil infrastructure
Transport and site civil structures to Australian Standards
Bridge design, culverts, retaining structures and site civil works for industrial and transport clients. Including D&C bridge delivery to TfNSW specifications and dam remediation assessments.
- Bridge design (SM1600)
- Retaining walls
- Dam assessments
- Site roads and drainage
