Design of any degree of complexity

A complete design package

The institute's expertise is rooted in long-term specialization in solid-mineral extraction and processing: mines, concentrators, metallurgical plants and their supporting infrastructure.

• Process regulations, pre-feasibility studies (PFS) and feasibility studies (FS)
• Basic engineering, concept design, design documentation and detailed working documentation
• New construction, modernization, reconstruction and major refurbishment
• Environmental protection, industrial safety and impact assessment
• Site supervision and support through state expertise

Design management

The team joins before drawing production and creates a controlled route from site analysis and source data through permits and the handover of approved working documents to construction.

• Land and construction-constraint analysis
• Collection of source permits, technical conditions and approvals
• Project budget and delivery programme
• Support for design and construction permits
• Cost-basis review and consultant selection support
• Design coordination in a common project-document environment

Industries and facility types

Every solution considers the process, climate and seismic conditions, regional material availability, end-user needs and the applicable standards of Kazakhstan.

• Open-pit and underground mines, quarries and mine-development works
• Crushing, grinding, screening, classification, flotation, filtration, thickening and drying
• Ferrous, non-ferrous and precious-metals facilities
• Industrial and power buildings, structures and utility systems
• Production infrastructure, communications and site improvement

Design disciplines

• Architecture and master planning
• Structural, reinforced-concrete and steel solutions
• Water supply, drainage, heating and ventilation
• Power supply, lighting and communications
• Environmental impact assessment
• Construction organization and process technology

Engineering software

The institute uses regularly updated licensed software for engineering analysis, documentation, estimating and programme control.

• AutoCAD, Autodesk Civil 3D and Autodesk Inventor Professional
• GeoVIA Surpac, Deswik and Autodesk Navisworks Manage
• Kompas, SPDS GraphiCS, RasterArts and CorelDraw
• ABC-4 estimating and MS Project scheduling
• VitroCAD common data environment for design and estimate documentation
