Applus+ provides mining engineering and mining technical services to support mining companies and operators in the safe and efficient planning, design, and management of mineral resource extraction.
These services cover all phases of the mine life cycle, including mine design, extraction planning, operational optimization, safety assurance, ground stability, ventilation, environmental management, and mine closure and rehabilitation. Mining technical services complement engineering activities by providing specialized technical support, testing, inspection, and compliance solutions throughout operations.
As with any complex and large-scale project, support from a multidisciplinary organization with expertise in geotechnical engineering, construction, HSE, environmental management, inspection and testing, and vendor inspection is essential to ensure optimization, effective risk management, and regulatory compliance.
We provide customized mining engineering solutions for all mining needs, including:
Additional capabilities comprise mining inspection and testing to verify materials, structures, and systems; project management to coordinate and control technical execution throughout project phases; technical certifications to demonstrate regulatory and contractual compliance; UAV-based inspections for efficient surveying, mapping, and asset evaluation in complex or inaccessible areas; and on-site technical assistance providing specialized expertise directly at operational sites.
We are also experts in traditional and advanced NDT services, including advanced UT inspections, electromagnetic array testing (EMAT), computed radiography NDT, MFL tank floor inspections, Incotest, phased array, tube inspection, long-range UT guided wave inspection, and remote visual inspection (CCTV).
These techniques are used to detect subsurface flaws, corrosion, fatigue cracking, wall-thickness loss, weld discontinuities, and structural degradation in critical components without interrupting operations. In mining environments, where equipment and structures operate under high mechanical loads, vibration, abrasion, and corrosive conditions, advanced NDT supports condition-based and risk-based maintenance strategies by providing quantitative integrity data for decision-making. It reduces reliance on reactive maintenance, minimizes unplanned downtime, enhances asset lifecycle management, and strengthens compliance with safety and statutory inspection requirements through reliable technical verification of structural and mechanical integrity.
Applus+ geotechnical services help to manage geomechanical risks across the mining project lifecycle. The approach combines site characterization, laboratory and in situ data interpretation, rock mass classification, and numerical modeling to assess slope stability, underground performance, subsidence, and foundation behavior under operational loads.
Support includes the design and optimization of open pits, shafts, tunnels, and waste facilities; stability and failure mechanism assessments; and the implementation of risk-based methodologies with appropriate ground control and mitigation measures.
During operations, services focus on instrumentation design, monitoring strategies, data interpretation, and validation of design assumptions to detect instability early and reduce uncertainty for informed decision-making.
This service is intended for mining companies, supply chain and logistics operators, engineering and EPC companies, and construction firms involved in mining projects.
It is also designed for technical and logistics professionals with engineering or civil backgrounds who maintain trusted supplier relationships.
Multidisciplinary teams of mining engineers and consultants: Our engineering and consulting services are delivered by experienced professionals with expertise in mining engineering, mine safety, mine design and planning, and project management, ensuring integrated technical support across project phases.
Mining engineering and technical support services include specialized technical advice, quality supervision, vendor inspection, non-destructive testing, risk management, regulatory compliance support, and technical assistance throughout the different project phases, from design to operation.
Specialized technical support is recommended from the early planning and design stages, during construction and commissioning, and throughout operations, especially in projects involving multiple contractors, high capital investment, or strict regulatory requirements.
Mining engineering services help reduce operational risks through technical audits, quality control programs, systematic inspections, compliance verification, asset integrity assessments, and independent supervision of suppliers and contractors.
An independent technical services provider delivers objective assessments, impartial reports, and recommendations based on safety, quality, and efficiency criteria, without conflicts of interest or direct dependence on manufacturers or construction companies.
