Overland conveyor engineering, design and delivery support.
Built for mining, bulk materials handling and large brownfields or greenfields expansions.
OLC Overland Conveyor Experts
Overland conveyor specialists

Long-distance overland conveyor engineering that gets built.

We deliver practical, construction-minded overland conveyor solutions for mining and bulk materials handling operations across the globe. From concept and route development through to detailed multi-discipline design, power, controls and commissioning support, this is work we know.

Purpose-built capability for overland conveyor systems.

Concept to detailed design

Route studies, layouts, conveyor geometry, horizontal and vertical curves, transfer interfaces, take-up arrangements, structural modules, footings and constructability-led engineering.

Multi-discipline delivery

Mechanical, structural, civil, electrical, instrumentation, control systems, communications, power studies and procurement support under one coordinated delivery model.

Built for real operations

Brownfields tie-ins, road and river crossings, splicing and reeling stations, switchrooms, water services, safety systems, commissioning support and handover planning.

Why owners and project teams bring us in.

  • Strong bulk materials handling background with proven overland conveyor execution on iron ore operations.
  • Engineering decisions grounded in buildability, maintainability, access and operating risk.
  • Ability to coordinate conveyor, transfer, power, control and ancillary infrastructure as one package.
  • Experience across studies, detailed design, procurement support, FAT, SAT, commissioning and handover.
  • Australian delivery team used to working fast without turning the deliverables into a mess.

Mechanical and structural depth

Conveyor modules, trusses, transfer towers, pulleys, take-up arrangements, maintenance access and support steel done with practical detailing in mind.

Electrical and control integration

HV, MV and LV distribution, switchrooms, drives, communications, control systems and integrated safety carried through the same delivery stream.

Site-ready documentation

Layout packages, fabrication-ready detailing, installation drawings, interfaces, procurement packages and commissioning documentation that stand up in the field.

Relevant project track record.

The proof matters more than the pitch.

How we work.

There is nothing fancy about a good delivery model. Get the alignment right early, keep interfaces tight, and make decisions with construction and operations in mind.

01

Define the corridor

Route, constraints, tonnage, geometry, tie-ins, crossings, access, maintenance philosophy and major project risks.

02

Engineer the system

Mechanical, structural, civil, electrical and control packages developed together so the whole conveyor works as one system.

03

Package for delivery

Procurement support, long-lead equipment inputs, fabrication information, installation sequencing and interface management.

04

Support commissioning

Completion systems, FAT, SAT, energisation, commissioning and handover backed by engineers who know the design intent.

Typical scope we cover.

  • Overland conveyor system studies, concept engineering and options development.
  • Detailed conveyor design including curves, take-up systems, drives, loading and discharge arrangements.
  • Transfer stations, splicing and reeling stations, surge bins and supporting infrastructure.
  • Road, river and infrastructure crossings with civil and structural integration.
  • HV/MV/LV power distribution, switchrooms, protection, instrumentation and control systems.
  • Procurement support, shop detailing, completions, commissioning and operational support.

We provide our service to:

Mining owners

For new mine developments, expansions, debottlenecks and brownfields material transport upgrades.

EPC and contractors

For teams that need sharp engineering support without dragging the schedule through unnecessary churn.

Developers

For studies and early engineering that need to stand up when the project moves into execution.

Operations teams

For upgrades where access, downtime windows and maintainability matter just as much as the design itself.
