Civil Engineering Services

We design structures, tailings dams, and leaching pads, and provide pre-construction services and project reviews.

Structural calculations and design

Calculation and design of the following structures are carried out:

  • Reinforced concrete and gabions retaining walls.
  • Industrial buildings based on metal, reinforced concrete or mixed structures.
  • Sizing and calculation of small hydraulic water and drainage networks.

Design and construction of tailings storage facilities

We specialize in the sizing, calculation, and design of tailings storage facilities with minimal moisture content, achieved through a thorough filtering process. Our services also include the design and implementation of all auxiliary facilities necessary for the proper operation of the storage facility.

Waste dumps designs

We specialize in the sizing, calculation, and design of waste dumps, incorporating chemical analysis, physical stability, material balance, material segregation, and evaluation of acid generation. Our designs ensure compliance with environmental and safety regulations by applying the most advanced techniques. Our expertise also includes determining effective controls for erosion, slope stability, and water drainage.

Design and construction of leach pads

We specialize in the sizing, calculation, and design of deposits where ore recovery is performed using leaching solutions. Our designs consider capacity, geochemical and physical stability, and aim to maximize capital savings in both construction and the operational recovery process.

Preconstruction services

  • Project review in the pre-construction phase, in all its specialties
  • Review of specifications of materials and/or special equipment
  • Preparation of base budget and catalog of concepts (Cost Estimating)
  • Preparation of master schedule and cash flow program
  • Support in contractor tenders (comparisons of proposals)
  • Support in project start-up

Review of project controls

  • Coordination on site of all those involved in the project (designers, contractors, suppliers, client, authorities, etc.)
  • Project schedule control
  • Project cost control
  • Control and assurance of project quality
  • Monitor correct sequencing in construction processes
  • Reports to the client.

Due diligence of civil works and metal-mechanical constructions

Complete audit service of a project, operational process, constructions or existing facilities, with the aim of detecting opportunities for improvement and proposing solutions that can be implemented in the short and medium term.
