Underground Engineering
AMPS has significant experience in all aspects of Underground Mining Engineering Consulting. Our team of engineers, ranging from early-career professionals to technical experts, is ready to support site-based operational roles, including mine design, planning, scheduling, drill and blast design and management.
For new operations, we have the capability and experience to set up and resource a technical services team whilst you take the time employ the right people. We always strive to find the right person for every assignment.
Our engineers have worked on underground projects across Australia, and our senior consultants are engaged in operational improvement projects, both onsite and in corporate offices.
For many years, AMPS has offered remote engineering services through a dedicated team, efficiently delivering drill plans, stope planning notes, and other operational support, all without the need to send an engineer to site.
With experience across a diverse range of operations, commodities and mining methods through our engineers’ careers at AMPS, we ensure the right expertise is matched to each job.

Planning and Scheduling
Clear direction,
practical plans.
Our experienced engineers work across all planning horizons, from strategic planning through to daily scheduling, to develop clear, achievable mine plans. We take the time to understand your operational strategy prior to beginning work and always strive to create safe, practical mining schedules that are aligned with site goals.
Our consultants apply their practical experience to produce realistic, high-quality plans that deliver results.
Our engineers have been involved in underground projects all over the world.
Drill and Blast Design
Quality drill and blast results start with quality designs (although good ground conditions help too). Our design and planning processes ensure optimum parameters and patterns are used to maximise ore recovery and minimise dilution. From start to finish, our experienced team will work with your site to ensure drill and blast outcomes meet expectations.
AMPS provide a comprehensive range of drill and blast systems, design, and ongoing support.
Remote operations support
AMPS offers remote engineering support, allowing your on-site team to focus on critical on-site tasks without mobilising additional personnel.
From our offices, our engineers can create your stope designs, drill and blast designs, and complete stope reconciliations for all hard rock commodities using your preferred design software.
