The risk of shying away from innovation and digital technologies far outweigh the risks of embracing the new. From taking people out of unsafe working environments to predicting failures before they happen, we’re weaving digital into everything we do. Innovation can have an immediate impact on your operations. In an iron ore project we’ve been working on in the Pilbara, our technological analysis unlocked an extra 1000 hours per annum of run time from a customer’s plant at no extra capital cost.
Digital was a running theme in our work for the proposed underground Wafi-Gulpu copper/gold project in Papua New Guinea. We created a sophisticated digital project design platform using SmartPlant design technology. This visualization helped the team to create operational efficiencies and cost savings that we couldn’t have unlocked before.
We need to decarbonize to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. But with over 11 per cent of global carbon energy consumption coming from mining, minerals and metals, decarbonization is one of the mining industry’s greatest challenges.
We understand the full picture and draw on expertise across all the sectors of our business, from water and environment to infrastructure and power. There’s no business like ours with the expertise to offer reliable and affordable energy solutions that can change the way we mine.
We can’t predict everything about the future, but we’re nimble enough to support a sector that is changing by the day. It’s an incredible time to be in mining.
