Ukwazi comprises a dynamic and versatile team of mining engineers and industry consultants with collective experience in all areas of open pit and underground mine operations and consulting and a wide range of commodities.
The company is structured according to its four main areas of competence, namely Mining Engineering and Project Management; Geotechnical and Rock Mechanics; Ventilation and Refrigeration; and Simulation and Industrial Engineering.
A collaborative agreement is in place with our partner, specialist global environmental and geotechnical engineering firm Golder Associates. This agreement ensures provision of a full suite of professional services for the mining industry, from project inception to closure. Where additional expertise is required to round out an offering, Ukwazi draws on its alliances with market leaders in specific disciplines.
By structuring Ukwazi into four divisions, we optimally group competencies for effective solution and service delivery to our clients. Discipline-specific competencies are addressed in each divisional profile, but collectively, the four divisions offer the following: mine design; mine scheduling; equipment selection; cost modelling; project management; maintenance of life of mine planning; feasibility studies; scenario analysis; geotechnical engineering; rock mechanic recommendations; ventilation design and monitoring; refrigeration design and monitoring; process simulation; and optimisation.
