Mining

Increasing operational efficiency to drive competitive advantage

Since engaging with our first mining customer over 30 years ago, we have continued to partner with our Australian resource clients, to leverage technology, guide organisational outcomes, and support informed decision making.

Focusing on IT, OT and digital within the mining sector, we have worked with leading miners such as BHP, Roy Hill, Citic Pacific Mining, Sandfire Resources and Paladin Energy to harness technology and help streamline operations to deliver business outcomes.

Challenges we see

Employing digital technology rapidly to position for competitive advantage.

A focus on margins. Tasked with increasing operational efficiency to drive competitive advantage, mining companies are looking to take advantage of emerging technologies to maximise the return for mineral production and ensure consistently good grade and quality.

Improving Shutdown and Maintenance - sticking to the budget, schedule and ensuring safety is paramount for every resource organisation.

Ability to react rapidly and efficiently. Aging systems and infrastructure can compromise reliability, increase costs and divert resources from optimisation and improvement initiatives.

Reducing operational costs and risk while increasing security. The essential requirement for a highly available Process Control System environment for security and risks.

Strategically aligning regimes across business units within a mining organisation can increase complexity and reduce agility. Eg. Rail, Port, Processing Plant, Mine, and Corporate.

How we can help

Implementing Technology to enable strategy

We understand the role data and technology plays in optimising the delivery strategies from pit to port - utilising mine, rail, and port systems (inclusive of operations command) to efficiently mine and transport minerals/ores.

Process Control Systems

We have extensive experience in PCS and understand the commercial and business sensitivity of the essential requirement for a highly available Tier 1 PCS environment.

Processes – (IT/OT)

We have a track record of success in process re-engineering, reporting, systems integration, change management and other tasks needed to embed solutions into the business and achieve its goals.

Shutdown and Maintenance Optimisation (both Technology and Governance)

Our skills in maintenance and shutdown span mobility, enterprise asset management, maintenance scheduling, task, and team tracking and completions.

IT & OT infrastructure support and design in all stages of the mining process

Corporate, Mine, Processing Plat, Rail, Port.

Security/HSSE

We have worked with mining organisations to minimise the risk of incidents with our site access, onboarding and other HSSE and process reporting capabilities.

Stakeholders

After 30 years in the mining industry, we know what is important to people’s roles. We don’t waste people’s time and we know how to communicate with them to accelerate value.

“The skill and experience brought to the project by the Denver team enabled the successful delivery of the project on time, under budget and within scope. Denver took on board the complexities of our business with its distributed sites across the globe and varying time zones and they delivered what they said they would deliver, in a no-fuss, easy to work with manner. I would feel very comfortable on any project with Denver as my technical delivery team.”

How we do it

We use a different kind of thinking to help solve client problems

Discover Insights - We work with your team to assess your current state for technology and processes and get a conceptual view of capabilities and requirements of what the landscape looks like and the definition of the desired state.

Road Map Strategy - Using the information from the discovery phase, we develop a road map to bridge the gaps between the current pain points and develop a strategy through to operations.

Execution Playbook – We identify various approaches that could be applied across the organisation and incorporate the most appropriate solutions to ensure business needs such as continuous delivery, automation and reduction of waste are met.
