Piling Design Capability–Mining Sector
Engino provides specialist piling design services for the mining sector, supporting the structural foundations of major processing plants, conveyors, crushers, surge bins, and supporting infrastructure. We understand the harsh ground conditions, heavy dyna mic loads, and accelerated delivery programs typical in mining environments, and we design foundations that are robust, cost – effective, and construction – ready.
Our piling expertise supports both greenfield and brownfield mining developments. We have delive red pile designs for key infrastructure including:
- Primary and secondary crusher foundations
- Conveyor trestles and head structures
- Transfer towers and surge bins
- Substations, pipe racks, and process buildings
We work closely with geotechnical consultants d uring the layout and study phases to determine the most appropriate foundation systems based on soil profiles, groundwater conditions, and equipment loads. Our team designs a range of pile systems, including bored piles, driven steel piles, and CFA piles, suited for mining site constraints and plant requirements.
Our designs consider vibration loading, cyclic behavior, settlement, lateral forces, and interaction with superstructures. Using 3D structural modelling, finite element analysis, and clash detectio n tools, we ensure accuracy and coordination across all design disciplines. We pay particular attention to pile caps and connectivity, integrating seamlessly with the superstructure and minimizing constructability risks.
All designs are fully compliant wit h relevant Australian Standards, mining specifications, and site safety requirements. We work with clients and contractors to stage foundation works efficiently, accounting for limited access, large equipment footprints, and aggressive timelines.
Engino ’ s piling solutions for mining are engineered with a deep understanding of site conditions, construction methods, and operational needs — delivering reliable foundations that support performance, safety, and longevity in some of Australia ’ s most demanding envir onments.
