Service detail · Site Civils

The civil works that get your mine producing

The enabling works a mine runs on — bulk earthworks, TSF lifts, haul roads, pads, drainage and concrete — delivered in-house by one accountable partner.

The service

The earthworks and civil structures a phosphate or gold operation runs on — pads, haul roads, TSF lifts, drainage and concrete — mobilised fast into Arabian Peninsula sites where water is scarce and heat drives the method. One accountable partner carries cost, quality and safety from bulk earthworks to certified hand-over, with in-country crews trained and counted toward your localisation commitments.

Capabilities

What we deliver

Bulk Earthworks & Site Preparation

Cut-to-fill, platforms and laydowns for plant, ROM pads and fixed infrastructure — surveyed, compacted and signed off to engineered specification.

TSF Construction & Lifts

Tailings storage facility construction, staged embankment lifts and evaporation ponds delivered to the engineer of record's standard, with every layer tested and logged.

Haul Roads & Access Roads

Engineered haul and access roads built and maintained for loaded mining traffic — geometry, sheeting and drainage designed to protect cycle times and tyre life.

Plant Pads & Foundation Works

Land preparation and foundations for processing plant, workshops and fixed structures, sequenced so civil works never hold up commissioning.

Drainage & Water Management Structures

Dams, diversion drains, sediment control and stormwater works that keep benches, pads and roads working through the wet season.

Concrete & Heavy Civil Works

Foundations, retaining structures and heavy structural concrete poured, cured and certified on site by our own crews.

In-House Materials Supply & Testing

On-site aggregate crushing, concrete batching and materials testing under one contract — schedule certainty on remote sites and civil works certified as built.

Water Before Dirt

Desert civils reward a contractor that plans for water before dirt. We engineer dust suppression, stormwater diversion and evaporation-pond works around scarce raw water, cure concrete for extreme heat, and shift earthworks to night through summer where it protects both people and programme — while every civil crew builds toward Saudization, Omanization and local-content commitments through the same skills-transfer model Corica runs across six African countries.

Proven by the Group

Proven by the Group. Adapted for the region.

The services described here are not theoretical. They are the work Corica Group has delivered across African mining contracts for more than two decades — open pit, underground, exploration drilling, site civils, infrastructure and technical services. The Middle East is the next regional platform for that capability.

Why Corica

What sets this service apart

One partner, in-house

Earthworks, concrete, aggregate supply and materials testing under one contract — better control of cost, quality and safety than a chain of subcontractors, and one accountable name when the schedule matters.

Civils by a miner, for a mine

Every pad, haul road and TSF lift is designed and sequenced by a team that also runs mining fleets — built to what your machines, cycle times and mine plan actually need, not to a generic civil specification.

Built to last, built in-country

Durable, standards-compliant construction in demanding desert terrain, with in-house testing evidencing every layer — delivered by national civil crews built through the same skills-transfer model, counting toward your Saudization, Omanization and local-content commitments. A foundation for the life of the operation, and lasting local capability.
