Complete engineering solutions

We are a truly end-to-end engineering service provider for copper projects, offering a balanced, expert mix of consultancy and engineering.

More than just exceptional project delivery

65% of unmined copper ore bodies are in high water risk areas – 47% of these occur on or close to indigenous peoples’ lands and 64% are within or near areas that are critical to biodiversity conservation.

Copper demand is soaring to support energy transition infrastructure and new mines need to be developed – fast. In the race to meet that demand, the industry must still prioritise sustainable mining practices.

We create sustainable strategies for mine sites that reduce environmental and social impact.
