Copper

Drawing on our knowledge of the mining industry in general and the design and construction management of vertical and decline shafts and associated infrastructure in particular, our team brings an understanding of the key drivers to create value for our clients for their specific project. The team brings technical skills, which will be invaluable in developing innovative solutions whilst creating the best value for the client in determining the optimal way to exploit any new or existing mining opportunity.

Our team members have been involved in many mining projects, from concept studies, through pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, to detailed design and implementation of such projects.

We have supported our clients during transition from open pit to underground mining operations, performing trade off studies for conveying, trucking and hoisting operations, detail design and EPCM services.

RSV has completed a broad portfolio of global copper projects for clients including, Rio Tinto, PMC, ENRC, Ero Copper, African Copper, Oyu Tolgoi, Ivanhoe and Kansanchi Copper
