For more than 40 years, our team has delivered planning and engineering services for pipelines across the globe for a diverse array of products, through challenging terrain, extreme climates and remote locations.
Building on the expertise, experience and technology developed by PSI (acquired by Ausenco in 2008), our team has been directly involved in most of the long-distance slurry pipelines created globally, including the world's longest and most challenging pipeline projects. In addition, we have developed some of the most challenging water supply systems for the mining industry.
We design and engineer long-distance pipelines to transport virtually every type of mineral, from concentrates such as copper, zinc, lead and iron, to crushed ore, bauxite, nickel laterite, phosphate, potash, limestone, coal, and their associated tailings.
Ausenco provides expertise with pipeline SCADA systems and telecommunications, especially for remote locations that require stand-alone (self-sustaining) systems, with minimal local human interface and maintenance.
We offer complete project solutions from concept to closure for:
- Long-distance slurry pipelines (mineral concentrates, mineral ores, coal, and industrial minerals)
- Conventional and high-density tailings transport
- Oil, gas and products pipelines
- Ethanol and alternative fuels pipelines
- Water and wastewater pipelines
Our project services include:
- Feasibility studies and conceptual design
- Route reconnaissance and evaluation
- Laboratory and loop testing programs
- Complex hydraulic modelling
- Basic and detailed engineering
- Pipeline integrity management systems
- Leak detection systems
- Pipeline operations and simulation software
- Pipeline SCADA and telecommunications
- Construction management and construction QA/QC
- Start-up and commissioning
- Pipeline optimisation and maintenance
- Operator training and operations support
