As Australia's mining industry continues to expand to meet global demand, Tonkin helps our clients design reliable infrastructure needed to deliver critical resources to market.
Tonkin’s multi-disciplinary service offering equips us to assist in the development of non-processing infrastructure from pre-feasibility, through detailed design and then to operation and maintenance. Tonkin’s diverse technical skillset enables us to provide consultancy services across a range of engineering disciplines including earthworks, water and wastewater design, stormwater management, structural design, road, pavement and rail design and geotechnical and environmental services.
Mining Camp Design
Tonkin are specialists in mining camp design and have significant experience in designing a range of camps across varying specifications and requirements. We understand the drivers between a temporary exploration camp, and a permanent operation camp and that fit-for-purpose design is paramount. We equally understand the challenges behind remote infrastructure, particularly when it comes to services availability.
Mine Operations Facilities
Tonkin have broad experience in a range of non-processing infrastructure design to support a variety of operations, from Change Room facilities, Mine Infrastructure Areas, Rail Sidings, Drill Core Testing facilities and Renewable Energy hubs.
Civil and Earthworks
Tonkin is experienced in civil and earthworks design for all aspects of non-processing infrastructure sites including site planning for temporary and permanent buildings, carparks, hardstands, access and haul roads and intersection upgrades.

Haul Road and Transport Design
Tonkin provides haul road and transport design services across both private mining leases and public road networks. On lease, we design haul roads to suit vehicle fleet specifications, production schedules and site topography, considering pavement design, drainage, geometry and dust management. Where mining operations interface with the public network, we work closely with local government and state road authorities to design intersection upgrades, access roads and pavement rehabilitation that meet regulatory approval and heavy vehicle standards. Our integrated approach ensures haul and transport routes are safe, efficient and fit for purpose, from the pit to point of sale.
Stormwater Management and Design
Our specialist stormwater engineers provide modelling and design including development of stormwater management plans, flood modelling and development of mitigation options. Tonkin’s high level of service combined with our employment of advanced software, allows our mining clients to have peace of mind that stormwater runoff will be effectively managed at their sites.
Water Supply
Tonkin provides tailored water supply design for mining projects, including pump stations, storage and distribution networks. Our expertise and experience include raw water system design, treatment and potable water distribution. We offer services that include the design and construction of new systems, as well as maintaining and upgrading existing systems.

Wastewater System Design
Effective and efficient wastewater system design is imperative for large scale mining facilities, from wastewater collection and treatment of camps to processing wastewater disposal. Our team is experienced at finding suitable solutions for the collection, treatment and disposal of wastewater at rural and remote sites. We provide planning, design, approval process advice and construction supervision of new systems, as well as ongoing operational support.
Structural Design
Our structural engineers design buildings for NPI and mining camps including central facilities, change rooms, storage and operational facilities, operation and maintenance sheds, change room facilities in addition to bridges/culverts, footings and other ancillary infrastructure.
Aerodrome Design Services
Tonkin’s expertise includes technical engineering design of airside and landside facilities, construction stage services and upgrades to existing facilities. Our team includes in-house experts, as well sub-consultant specialists.
