                       Pre-feasibility studies and plan
                       for a large diamond mining          harvesting arrangements) solutions that led to cost savings
                       project for an MNC                  through reduction in reservoir capacity, reduction in number
                                                           of dykes for PlSF, reduction in capacity of crushed ore
                                                           stockpile & compact layout with minimal cutting and filling


                                                           Turnkey execution of the project completed in record
                                                           time and in line with international standards. Innovative
                                                           engineering solutions such as design and engineering
                       Engineering consultancy for a
                       blast furnace, the largest in the   of 4-poster structure thereby eliminating the need for
                       country (2013)                      pouring concrete into the hollow structures, engineered

                                                           blast furnace and gas cleaning plant were premium
                                                           solutions to the client

                                                           The water requirement of 220 CMH was addressed by
                                                           the water collected in reservoirs during monsoon.
                       55,000 TPA High Carbon              Cost-effective water solution was provided though
                       Ferrochrome Plant                   water from Karatali Reservoir (KR) of the State Irrigation

                       project consists of open cast       process optimisation benefits included – number of
                       mine, ore beneficiation plant       flotation cells reduced, total effective volume reduced
                       and associated infrastructure in    thus reducing the requirement of air in turn reducing the
                       South Africa                        capacity requirement of blower, overall footprint of plant
                                                           reduced, overall power consumption reduced
