Our engineers have strong operational and technical backgrounds and have gained substantial experience in mines employing a multitude of mining methods over the years, exploiting all commodities in the region. In addition, we are able to draw on the broader skills across our company’s regional workforce. These benefits ensure that our solutions and advice are not only practical and workable, but take account of appropriate geotechnical, hydrogeological, economic and environmental considerations.

Our services cover scoping, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies as well as economic evaluations, detailed mine design and layouts, production scheduling and equipment selection, operating cost estimation and capital expenditure estimation. We also have key people pro-actively reviewing improved mining methods outside traditional approaches. We also employ most modern technologies including customized software.

With the most modern and comprehensive contractor fleet in the industry, Umlandu provides a full complement of tunneling and mine development services. After excavating hundreds of kilometers, we are highly recognized for successfully handling logistically challenging projects in remote locations and severe conditions, such as: high altitude regions, the Kalahari Desert and the Tropics.

With the growing need to bring projects into production more quickly and on budget, we can accelerate the process for mining companies by supplying quality consultants to supplement the client’s own technical resources to achieve the desired outcomes within the project timeframe. Our personnel will ensure appropriate decisions to guide project development are made at the earliest opportunity and are committed to reviewing what aspects of project advancement can be done in parallel to minimise the risk of any rework.
