Even in the specialized world of industrial construction, mining projects are unique. They are subject to stringent federal regulations as well as high, client-driven standards for safety and quality. Successful mining projects depend on detailed planning, thorough knowledge of specialty systems, piping and equipment construction and mastery of quality requirements.
That’s why mining clients choose Sundt. Our work spans the entire spectrum of mine types at all stages (greenfield, rebuild, reclaimed), and our experience includes constructing and installing rail spurs, roadwork, integrated water treatment facilities, material storage and handling systems, process equipment, crushing and grinding systems and maintenance facilities. We also provide project feasibility estimating and scheduling.
Sundt’s mining industry experts have the knowledge and experience required by these sophisticated and often complex projects. Our safety planning takes priority over production measurements, and we approach every project with a disciplined, detailed preplanning process to provide creative solutions to otherwise standard practices. We staff our projects with the right number of people to maximize safety and efficiency, while ensuring that team members’ skills and project requirements are well-matched.
In addition, Sundt’s diverse workforce has the ability to self-perform major components of all projects, enabling us to ensure on-time and on-budget performance. Our self-perform capabilities include earthwork, yard piping, demolition, concrete, miscellaneous metals, structural steel erection, boilermaker work, process piping and equipment setting.
