Mining

The broad experience of IDEA Ingeniería in the mining sector has enabled it to take part in engineering and construction projects involving solid bulk transport and handling systems. Our Know-How is vital for its development and enhancement, both of new installations and the remodelling of existing mining installations.

IDEA Ingeniería / Mining Sector

Idea ingeniería carries out the works required for the development and smooth operation of mining facilities for the handling and transport of solid bulk. It analyses the needs of the customer and optimises the production stages. It designs plant installations, carrying out the following tasks:

Feasibility and Preliminary design studies.
Conceptual and basic engineering.
Detail engineering, from conceptual design to manufacture.
Civil engineering calculation and development, highlighting that we are specialised in longitudinal and special foundations.

Design and calculations for specific structures:
- Buildings with large-scale equipment. Buildings for crushing, screening, washing of material, classification and dosage etc…
- Transfer towers
- Conveyor belts
- Auxiliary platforms

HIGHER PRODUCTION

LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION

HIGHER PAYBACK

REDUCTION IN PROCESS VARIABILITY

IDEA is involved and accompanies the customer throughout the engineering, construction and start-up stages, carrying out a detailed analysis of all the installations required:

Study on equipment for mining installations:
- Conveyor belts
- Grinding unit, grinders (crushing) and crushers, hoppers, screeners.
- Classifiers
- Magnetic separators
- Stackers & Reclaimers
- Washing of material
- Bucket loaders and unloaders
- Train loading and unloading station
- Equipment for innovative solutions such as material degradation, the formation of fine aggregates, dust pollution etc.

Design, calculation and optimisation of mechanical equipment.
Studies, calculations and optimisation of electrical installation and instrumentation.
Process optimisation.
Specific control systems for mining installations, obtaining major advantages such as the reduction in stoppage time, the wear and tear of equipment and the maintenance cost.
Management of the procurement of the necessary equipment and supplies, as well as works’ contracts for installation.
A multidisciplinary and highly qualified team of professionals in technical assistance, which allows us to cover all the disciplines that require this type of project: Mechanical, Structural, Civil, Electrical, Control and Instrumentation (See Outsourcing service).
Commissioning and start-up, aided by highly qualified professionals.
