Our Expertise Includes

Transport Optimization for Brownfield Projects

We improve transportation efficiency in existing open-pit mines through detailed microsimulation modeling. By replicating real vehicle operations, we identify inefficiencies and unlock significant reductions in operational expenditure (OPEX).

Infrastructure & Capacity Planning

We optimize station design, track layout, rolling stock requirements, and overall network configuration to ensure scalable, efficient rail systems built for long-term growth and performance.

Operational Modeling for Mining Efficiency

Using vehicle-based microsimulation, we model transport flows within open-pit operations to accurately capture cycle times, vehicle performance, and bottlenecks. This enables precise planning and optimization of equipment use and logistics.
