TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

Equipment design and selection

Rotherwood Hall can assist with the design and selection of equipment for a wide range of mining and mineral processing applications. Covering open pit, underground, and fixed plant installations, we can match the often-conflicting needs of productivity, economics, and social licence to operate, to ensure that the equipment used in your mine is fit for purpose and capable of sustaining results in the longer term.

Asset Management

Rotherwood Hall's expertise in equipment extends through the full lifecycle of equipment. From commissioning and operation through to disposal, we can develop asset management strategies that maintain equipment functionality to achieve production, cost, and environmental goals. The key to this is our expert understanding of the equipment and operating environment, ensuring that asset management plans have the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances.

Mining decarbonisation

Rotherwood Hall has the expertise to align your aspirations for mining decarbonisation with the realities of physics and economics that govern your mining business. Through careful analysis, we can review, recommend, and select decarbonisation pathways that are achievable and retain the ability for ongoing improvement as the technology develops. This includes an understanding of the widely variable and ever-changing regulatory environment associated with mining decarbonisation.

Techno-economics

Rotherwood Hall understands that your financial plans must have technical integrity. While the technicalities of your mining situation will determine what can be done, the economics of your situation will guide what should be done. By careful analysis of both of these aspects, we can help you create plans that achieve the best outcomes, at the lowest risk, with a high degree of flexibility.
