In addition to the provision of core mining site infrastructure, Arup offers services ranging from concept design through construction to commissioning.
We also undertake operations for all non-process infrastructure such as mines’ energy, water, roads, rail, ports, airport connections as well as accommodation and support buildings.
Arup undertakes complete asset assessments and technical/economic analyses in order to maximise asset use and profitability. We help mining clients to minimise wastage and reduce negative externalities.
Fundamental to mining operation is a source of water, an increasingly scarce resource. The use of wellfields can be offset by using desalinated seawater, minimising losses, evaluating processes for water consumption reduction and improved reuse – including using waste heat for multi-effects distillation using waste heat.
Mines are energy intensive and the cost of power is a critical element of mine feasibility. Solutions for off-grid mines with renewable penetration exceeding 85% are viable, or for on-grid mine PPAs or behind the meter wind and solar to reduce energy prices.
