It is created on the basis of an office in St. Petersburg for the comprehensive solution offering in designing new and reconstruction of existing beneficiation plants (BP) with the performance of the functions of the General design engineer and the Customer.

The major specialization of the Office is the execution of sections of PT, IPA, RM, OM and tailings facility.

Support for high Key performance indicators (KPIs) in terms of project implementation and designer supervision:
• High level of corporate culture, planning, resource allocation and control
• Quality of design solutions, confirmed by the absence of additional agreements and changes in the engineering documentation due to a poor-quality project
• Provision of design solutions, allowing to minimize the nonproductive time of the Customer's asset for the period of reconstruction/re-equipment of the BP
• Operational response to external changes in the project

Division's competencies:

• Competence development in modern benefication technologies, participation in exhibitions, benchmarketing, analysis and implementation of best practices, formation of a knowledge base
• Close interaction with the research laboratory, regular monitoring of promising technologies
• Advanced training using project development tools: BIM 360, Inventor, Revit, Navisworks, ReCAP, etc.
• Creation of a BIM model (electronic project development), audit of an integrated project model taking into account the current situation (ground laser scanning)
• Provision of additional services:
- Implementation of virtual POS/PPR, development of a logistics program
- Support of 5D information model at the stage of ACW
- Transfer of the electronic passport of the design object to the customer
