Conceptual Design & Feasibility Studies

We have been involved in the study, design and implementation of 80% of all long-distance slurry pipelines installed worldwide.

Our experts are at the forefront of slurry pipeline technology development and have worked on some of the world’s longest and largest slurry pipelines, delivering sustainable solutions.

When executing studies, we collaborate with our multidisciplinary team (environmental, process, tailings, and transportation and logistics experts) to find the best solutions based on how the pipeline system connects and interacts with the rest of the site mining and logistics infrastructure. From initial concept through closure, our team assesses, plans, provides cost estimates, designs, and oversees the implementation of solutions that add value and increase your return on investment.

Our expertise includes:

  • Long-distance slurry pipelines (mineral concentrates, mineral ores, coal, and industrial minerals)
  • Conventional and high-density tailings transport
  • Water and wastewater pipelines
  • Oil and gas pipelines
  • Ethanol and alternative fuel pipelines
