Mining Infrastructure in Western NSW: Challenges and Engineering Solutions

Western NSW hosts copper, gold, silver, and emerging battery minerals projects. Harsh environments, ageing infrastructure, and remote sites pose unique challenges.
Challenges
- Remote, hot, and dusty locations (Cobar, Broken Hill, Dubbo).
- Ageing SMP assets far beyond design life.
- Growing compliance requirements.
- Transition to battery minerals requiring new infrastructure.
Engineering Solutions
- Structural verification against Australian Standards.
- Retrofitting legacy conveyors, tanks, and crushers.
- Designing SMP systems for new lithium and rare earth projects.
- Compliance documentation for regulators and insurers.
Trang Imagineering combines local knowledge with advanced engineering to keep Western NSW mines safe, compliant, and cost-effective.
