Practical surface infrastructure for mine sites that work

Surface infrastructure is a critical part of any mine site – and the practical design and management of infrastructure such as plant, structures, roads, dams, dumps and pipelines is key. Infrastructure that is well designed and managed, leads to greater integration within a mine site with improved safety outcomes, operational and cost efficiencies and achieving sustainability goals.

pitt&sherry’s Surface Infrastructures services are delivered to project developers, mine operators and engineering groups. Our experience covers surface infrastructure for open pit and underground mines, and tailings retreatment projects.

We work collaboratively with our clients to understand how the surface infrastructure can best support their sites and operations. Our team is well versed in implementing the upgrade, renewal and sustaining capital projects on mines and industrial facilities and the constraints associated with maintaining operations.

Our team delivers surface infrastructure services across the project lifecycle from planning, design and construction, production and closure and remediation – from the mine site to port.

We work with our clients on non-process infrastructure such as roads (haul and access), dumps, dams, pipelines, pavements, levees and diversions, and airports (landside).
