With over 25 years of experience... in the mining industry, experts at AST are dedicated to the task of finding creative solutions for mineral related material handling operations. We strive to provide balanced environmentally friendly solutions that are imaginative, reliable, and affordable

AST Background

Stacking bulk materials is what we do!

Concept layouts... for both movable and fixed structures (Layouts, GA drawings, and 3D topographical surface models)

Specializing in 3D stacking plans... and mobile placement systems (Equipment set visualization, terrain analysis, and conveyor corridors)

Both conventional and novel systems... stacking solutions (CAPEX and OPEX studies for overburden, waste rock, and tailings)

Material handling solutions

What we deliver...

Process Flow Diagrams showing equipment with related material volume calculations

Topographical Site Plans able to be used in 3D CAD planning software

Schematic Drawings showing site specific material handling concepts

Wet and dry tailings studies

Pile Progression and associated volumetric calculations for monitoring placement of dry materials or wet tailings

Stacking Sequence Drawings showing equipment movements and step-by-step details of varying fixed and mobile machine alternatives

General Arrangement Drawings displaying details of material handling equipment being considered for use or purchase

Conveyor Corridor Drawings with plans, centerline profiles and cross-sections shown traversing through varied types of geographic terrain

Equipment set identification

Volumetric Details for Access Ramp Locations demonstrating feasible truck access ramp locations with related construction details

Electrical Power Plans showing power battery limits required for various operating locations and related machinery installations
