Integrated site pre-feasibility for remote mining and energy sites

Power, freight routes, workforce housing and permits, planned as one site.

A fixed-price pre-feasibility Brief in about three weeks, before you commit capital.

We plan for sites in
  • Andes
  • Atacama
  • Caribbean coast
  • African copperbelt

Where schedules slip

Four parties, four calendars. The delay sits where they meet.

Power, freight, housing and permits are usually planned by four different parties at four different times. Each plan can be sound on its own. The schedule slips at the handoffs between them.

  • Power
  • Freight
  • Workforce housing
  • Permitting path

One line

Permitting is usually the longest line on the schedule, so we map it first.

The integrated site blueprint

One plan for the whole site.Four layers, drawn together.

Pick a layer to see what we plan. Then switch them all on. Nothing on a remote site is planned in isolation, and the Brief doesn't treat it that way.

Solar-first microgrid power

  • Power is sized against the same load the housing and haul routes create.
  • The Concept Study adds a microgrid sizing concept and rough capex ranges.
  • Solar comes first in the plan, so the site isn't designed around diesel by default.

We plan. Licensed engineers sign off.

Planning lens

Three rings decide what sits where

We apply a simple lens at district or corridor scale. It keeps the plan readable for engineers, authorities and lenders alike.

Read from the centre out: people first, then the systems that serve them, then the heavy work.

  1. Inner ring

    Where people live and gather.

    • Workforce housing
    • Clinic
    • School
    • Administration
  2. Middle ring

    Where the site is kept running.

    • Power
    • Processing
    • Maintenance
    • Utility corridors
  3. Outer ring

    Where the heavy work stays at a distance.

    • Extraction
    • Farming
    • Freight routes

The lens decides what sits where, so services stay close to people and heavy work stays at a distance.

How the Brief runs

Four steps, one fixed fee, about three weeks.

Permitting is usually the longest line on the schedule, so we map it first. Then we join it to power, freight and housing before you commit capital.

    Scope and fee

    Scope and fixed fee agreed before work starts. You know the number before we draw a line.

  2. 2
    About three weeks

    Desk work

    Desk work for about three weeks: power, freight, housing and the permitting path, drawn as one plan.

    Licensed engineers

    Engineer review

    Engineer review by licensed engineers we subcontract. We plan. They sign off.

  4. 4
    Ready to read

    Packaged for lenders

    Packaged so a lender can read it, with the risks, permits and phasing in one place.

Offers

Five ways to start, priced before you commit.

Every fee is fixed and agreed at scoping. Start with the Brief, then step up only if the site earns it.

Questions

Plain answers, before you ask twice.

What we do, what we don't, and how the fee works. If your question isn't here, write to us.

No. We plan before the build. Engineer review is subcontracted to licensed engineers, and they sign off.

Start with the Brief

Tell us about the site. We’ll reply with a scope and a fixed fee.

Name the country, the kind of site and what worries you most. Permitting is usually the longest line on the schedule, so we map it first.

  • A fixed-price brief in about three weeks, before you commit capital.
  • Power, freight routes, workforce housing and permits, planned as one site.
