Turner & Townsend has extensive experience in the mining and metals sectors, offering project control, cost engineering and contract services, to name a few, to our blue chip client base.

Turner & Townsend has been offering commercial solutions to clients in diverse markets for more than 60 years, building a reputation for independent service excellence. Our knowledge of local conditions and our expertise across a wide range of projects make us the ideal partner to secure your peace of mind and make for successful projects.

We have carried out major commissions in various parts of the world, including Australia, Botswana, Chile, Columbia, Mali, Middle East, Namibia, Russia, South Africa, USA, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Our client base in the highly developed mining sector in Africa has grown to include most of the mining companies active within Africa and internationally. Our project experience covers market sectors such as gold, diamonds, platinum, coal and base metals to chrome and mineral sands.

Some of the types of successful projects we have been associated with include the following:

• open cast/pit mining operations
• vertical shaft sinking and lining
• decline cluster development
• exploration drilling
• underground development
• construction of material handling facilities, mineral beneficiation plants, process plants and breweries.

Each commission is viewed on its own merit and services are always tailored to suit the specific requirements of the client. These can include bankable feasibility studies (including value engineering), pre-contract (including pre-qualification, enquiry preparation and adjudication, procurement strategy and contract drafting), post-contract (including cost engineering and contractual advise). The above services can be offered from our regional offices or by staff secondment into the client’s organisation.
