> Fleet optimisation & selection

A clear, evidence-based fleet pathway gives operators and decision-makers confidence that equipment choices align with geology, material behaviour, mine scheduling, grade profiles, and long-term production demands. By modelling configuration, equipment mix, and operating logic against real conditions, the selection process reflects how the fleet will perform in practice, not theory. This ensures investment is directed to fleet assets that deliver predictable output, stable product quality, and strong cost control, avoiding costly mismatches long before procurement begins.

Why it matters	Fleet choices made without full alignment to geology, material behaviour, grade requirements, and extraction method lead to unstable throughput, grade drift, inflated cost-per-tonne, and long-term inefficiency. Once the wrong fleet is purchased, the consequences cascade through every shift.
Our focus	We analyse deposit characteristics, material flow, mine method, and LOM schedules to determine the correct fleet size, type, capacity range, and utilisation profile. Every recommendation is tied directly to the product the mine must deliver — grade, size, and specification.
Outcome	A technically defensible fleet blueprint aligned with production targets, product requirements, and the real extraction plan.

Capital Justification & Investment Pathway

Why it matters	Even well-selected equipment underperforms if haul profiles, loading systems, processing constraints, or material flows are misaligned. Without modelling, unseen bottlenecks create downtime, cost pressure, and inconsistent compliance.
Our focus	We model fleet options against real mine layouts, cycle times, haul distances, movement logic, and processing interfaces. This establishes performance envelopes, identifies bottlenecks, and clarifies grade-impact risks before capital is committed.
Outcome	A verified operational model showing how the fleet will perform in practice, not on paper.

Why it matters	Boards and investors require clarity, transparency, and disciplined evidence behind capital decisions. When the link between fleet capability, lifecycle cost, and product impact isn’t clear, approvals stall and risk rises.
Our focus	We integrate lifecycle costing, utilisation forecasts, maintenance profiles, and product-impact modelling into a structured capital recommendation. The output provides executives with the certainty needed to approve investment and move confidently into procurement..
Outcome	A clear, evidence-backed investment pathway that supports capital approval and leads directly into Stage 2, the equipent procurement and implementation process.
