Safety and efficiency form a nexus within the slurry and mechanical engineering process. Our practice works across the range of tailings containment solutions, seeking to achieve fit-for-purpose outcomes. Advocacy for thickened tailings solutions, where deemed appropriate, creates opportunity to improve containment reliability, storage efficiency and environmental upside through water conservation.

Based in our Melbourne Office, the Slurry and Mechanical Engineering Group offers a full engineering service for tailings slurry and mine water handling systems including:

• Options assessment, design and optimisation of tailings handling dewatering, transportation, and distribution systems
• Unthickened, thickened, and filtered tailings mechanical infrastructure
• Pipeline and open channel design
• Process control system design
• Capital and operational costing
• Equipment selection and procurement
• Construction and commissioning
