Built for the demanding conditions.
Through planned maintenance and reliability achievements, our engineering teams keep 225+ underground machines operating at peak availability across Zambia's Copperbelt.
Engineering services are not an afterthought in underground mining - they are the foundation. Every cycle of every machine depends on engineers who anticipate failure, prevent breakdowns, and respond immediately when issues arise. Our approach is structured, technical, and built around one principle: keep production moving.
Certified Engineers
Fleet Availability
In-Shaft Workshops
On-Site Support
Six core
engineering disciplines.
Mechanical Engineering
Hydraulic systems, engine overhaul, transmission rebuilds, and structural repairs. Full machine rebuild capability in-shaft.
Electrical & Instrumentation
High-voltage systems, control panel maintenance, telemetry calibration, and fault diagnosis on all fleet electronics.
Welding & Fabrication
Certified welders for structural repairs, custom fabrication, and pressure vessel work. Mobile welding rigs deployed underground.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled servicing programs based on operating hours, condition monitoring, and OEM specifications.
Breakdown Response
24/7 emergency response teams stationed across operational zones. Average response time under 30 minutes to underground sites.
Component Reconditioning
In-house refurbishment of major components extends service life and reduces dependency on imported parts.
Four workshops. One integrated network.
Workshops positioned strategically across underground levels eliminate the time and risk of surface transport for repairs. Most maintenance is completed within the shift it was scheduled.
