CAD & Drafting Services for Mining

Mining and mineral processing projects combine structural steelwork, mechanical equipment and civil infrastructure, often across remote sites and on fixed shutdown or commissioning windows. Documentation needs to be accurate the first time, because a detailing error discovered mid-shutdown can mean a plant stays offline far longer than planned, at a direct cost that dwarfs the cost of the drafting itself.

We provide structural, mechanical and civil drafting support for mining sector projects — from processing plant structures and equipment documentation through to site civil works.

Brownfield work dominates a large share of mining-sector drafting, because processing plants are rarely built once and left alone — they're modified, expanded and requalified repeatedly over decades of operation. That means a large part of the value in this work is reconciling what a plant's original drawings say against what's actually built and operating today, which frequently differ after years of incremental, undocumented site changes.

Structural documentation for platforms, walkways and access structures has to account for real operational constraints — maintenance access, equipment removal paths, and load cases from mobile plant that a purely theoretical structural model might not anticipate.

Remote site logistics shape how this work gets scoped: drawings need to be right before fabrication starts, because a wrong piece discovered on a remote site during a shutdown window can't simply be re-ordered and delivered next-day the way it might on a metro construction site.

India's mining and mineral processing sector spans coal, iron ore, bauxite and a range of other mineral commodities, each with somewhat different processing plant configurations, but sharing the same fundamental documentation challenges — brownfield reconciliation, remote logistics, and fixed shutdown windows that don't tolerate a late or wrong drawing.

Mechanical equipment documentation for fixed and mobile plant in a mining context also needs to account for a harsher operating environment than a typical factory — dust, vibration and abrasive material handling all shape maintenance access and component selection in ways that a general industrial equipment drawing wouldn't necessarily reflect.

Regulatory and safety documentation requirements around mining infrastructure add another layer that shapes how structural and civil drafting gets scoped — access, egress and fall-protection provisions on platforms and walkways aren't optional details to be added later, they're central to the structure's actual purpose and need to be built into the detailing from the earliest stage.

The remoteness of many Indian mining operations, particularly in the eastern mineral belt and parts of central India, means documentation support is frequently delivered entirely remotely, with site information supplied through photographs, survey data and existing drawings rather than a site visit — a workflow this service is built around rather than treating as an exception.
