Engineering solutions for mining operations

Engineering solutions for mining operations

Australia is a world-leader in producing and exporting a variety of metals and minerals, with a strong pipeline of surface and underground projects.

Rising input costs, deeper ore bodies, evolving safety regulations and growing ESG expectations are reshaping how mines are designed, built and operated.

pitt&sherry works alongside mining companies and contracting partners to navigate this complexity. Our multidisciplinary team brings practical, site-forged experience in underground and surface operations, with the technical capability to help identify, assess and respond to complex geotechnical risk, support shaft construction, ground control planning and safe, efficient decision making. We work with a range of clients from small operators through to Tier 1 miners in both Australia and overseas.

What we do
