Steel for remote mines, delivered complete
Conveyor galleries, transfer towers, ore sheds, process plants and truck shops for nickel, copper, gold and aggregate operations – coated for the harshest sites and packed for barge and road access.

- Coating category coastal and acidic sites
- Bolted
- Field connections minimal site welding
- DDP
- To site by barge or road
Designed for the route to site
On a remote mine the hardest part is often not the design but getting steel there – through a small port, onto a barge, up a mountain road. We start from that route: maximum piece length and weight, crane capacity at site, the number of lifts the crew can make per day.
Structures are divided into bolted modules that fit those limits, trial-assembled in the plant where needed, and shipped in the order the site will erect them.
Applications

Codes & compliance
Designed for Philippine approval
The codes our engineers work to on Philippine projects – and the approvals your project team will obtain with our documents.
Philippines
- NSCP 2015 Vol. 1National Structural Code of the Philippines – loads, wind (Sec. 207), seismic (Sec. 208) and steel design
- AISC 360 / AISC 341Structural steel design and seismic provisions, as referenced by NSCP Chapter 5
- AISI S100Cold-formed steel members – purlins, girts and eave struts
- AWS D1.1Structural welding – procedures, welders and inspection
- ISO 12944Corrosion protection by paint systems, by corrosivity category C2–C5
- PD 1096 · RA 9514National Building Code and Fire Code of the Philippines (Revised IRR 2019)
- Engineer of record
- Plans and calculations signed and sealed by a Philippine-licensed civil or structural engineer for the building permit
- Fire safety
- Fire Safety Evaluation Clearance (FSEC) from the BFP before the permit; fire-resistance ratings per type of construction
Summary for orientation only – the project specification, the adopted code edition and the authority having jurisdiction govern.
Engineering
Corrosion is the long-term load
Laterite nickel mines are often on the coast, and sulphide ore produces acidic dust. We specify coating systems by ISO 12944 category and expected life – galvanizing plus paint where it pays – and avoid details that trap water and fines.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work to the EPC's drawings?
Yes. We fabricate to the EPC or plant designer's drawings, or provide the structural design ourselves.
Can you handle import documents for a mining company?
Under DDP we handle customs, duties and delivery to the site gate, including the documents needed for registered enterprises.
Ready to price your building?
Send the layout, the site location and your target date. We reply with a frame concept, steel tonnage and a CIF or DDP price.
