Mining Infrastructure Contractor Insurance For Mine Construction, Civil Engineering And Mineral Extraction Projects
Mining Infrastructure Contractor Insurance
Mining Infrastructure Contractor Insurance refers to insurance considerations for contractors that construct, maintain, expand, rehabilitate or support infrastructure connected with mining and mineral extraction sites. These businesses may work on mine access, underground workings, surface infrastructure, processing plants, haul roads, dewatering systems, ventilation systems, tailings facilities, temporary compounds and site support assets.
The insurance requirements for mining infrastructure contractors can vary significantly depending on whether the work is carried out underground, at surface mines, on open cast sites, within active extraction operations or during rehabilitation and closure projects. A specialist broker will usually need to understand the type of work undertaken, the minerals involved, the contract structure, the use of plant, employee numbers, subcontractor arrangements and risk management procedures.
Mining Construction Contractors
Mining construction contractors may be involved in mine development, shaft construction, drift construction, decline construction, adit works, headframe installation, processing plant construction, conveyor installation, crusher installation, workshops, warehouses, fuel depots, substations, pump stations and site compounds. These projects can involve heavy civil engineering, mechanical installation, electrical works, temporary works and specialist mining methods.
Unlike ordinary construction sites, mine infrastructure projects may involve ground stability concerns, heavy plant movement, remote working, water ingress, blasting activity, confined spaces, respirable dust, ventilation requirements and operational mining activity nearby. Contractors may need a combination of liability, contract works, plant, environmental, professional and motor insurance depending on their role.
Mining Civil Engineering Contractors
Mining civil engineering contractors may undertake earthworks, haul road construction, access road construction, retaining walls, culverts, bridges, drainage works, foundations, hardstanding, settlement lagoons, tailings infrastructure, water management systems and mine support infrastructure. These works may be linked to both surface mining and underground mining operations.
Civil engineering work at mining sites can involve steep gradients, heavy traffic, unstable ground, contaminated land, remote locations, large volumes of material movement and work near operational processing areas. A specialist broker may need to understand the largest contract values, the project locations, the site conditions, plant used and whether work is performed for mine operators, principal contractors, mineral extraction companies or public sector clients.
Mine Development Contractors
Mine development contractors may support new mine projects, mine expansion, shaft development, decline access, drift construction, ventilation development, ore handling infrastructure and site enabling works. They may work before production begins or during phased expansion of an existing mine.
Insurance discussions for mine development work may need to reflect contract works, temporary works, design responsibility, heavy plant, excavation, dewatering, access construction and site safety management. The broker may also ask whether the contractor is working as a principal contractor, specialist subcontractor, joint venture partner or framework supplier.
Underground Mining Contractors
Underground mining contractors may work on shafts, declines, drifts, adits, ventilation shafts, escape routes, ore passes, underground roadways, pumping systems, rock support, rock bolting, shotcrete, ground stabilisation, underground services and maintenance infrastructure. These activities can involve confined spaces, limited access, ventilation issues and emergency escape planning.
Underground work can create specialist exposures involving rock falls, ground collapse, subsidence, methane, water ingress, heavy equipment movement, drilling, blasting support, poor visibility and emergency response procedures. Employers' Liability Insurance, Public Liability Insurance, Contractors All Risks Insurance, Plant Insurance, Professional Indemnity Insurance and Environmental Liability Insurance may need to be considered depending on the contractor's duties.
Surface Mining And Open Cast Contractors
Surface mining contractors may work on open cast mines, open pit mines, quarry-type extraction sites, aggregate operations, industrial mineral sites and related processing infrastructure. Their work may include haul roads, benches, slopes, drainage, settlement lagoons, stockpile areas, plant pads, access roads, earthworks and rehabilitation works.
Surface mining environments can involve slope instability, rock falls, large mobile plant, haul truck routes, dust, noise, vibration, water management and environmental controls. A specialist broker may ask about the type of site, the minerals extracted, the plant used, the depth and scale of excavation, traffic management and whether the contractor works near active blasting or extraction operations.
Mine Maintenance Contractors
Mine maintenance contractors may provide planned maintenance, reactive repairs, infrastructure renewals, processing plant maintenance, conveyor repairs, crusher maintenance, pump repairs, ventilation equipment maintenance, workshop services, drainage maintenance and emergency response work. They may work during active production or during scheduled shutdown periods.
Maintenance contractors can face different insurance issues from project-based contractors because they may attend multiple sites, respond urgently, work around operational plant and handle critical infrastructure. Cover may need to reflect site work, mobile teams, tools, vehicles, plant, professional advice, employee exposures and the risk of damage to third-party property or interruption to mining operations.
Mine Rehabilitation, Remediation And Closure Contractors
Mine rehabilitation contractors may support site restoration, mine closure, remediation, land reinstatement, contaminated land treatment, tailings management, water treatment, slope stabilisation, capping, drainage works, landscaping and environmental monitoring. These activities can take place after mining has ceased or while parts of a site remain operational.
Rehabilitation and remediation projects may create environmental liability and pollution liability considerations because contractors may work with contaminated land, mine water, tailings materials, fuel residues, waste deposits, settlement lagoons and sensitive surrounding land. A specialist broker may need information about environmental permits, waste handling, water management, pollution prevention and project supervision.
Mining Support Contractors And Specialist Trades
Mining infrastructure projects may involve electrical contractors, mechanical contractors, ventilation contractors, dewatering contractors, processing plant contractors, conveyor installers, crusher installers, drilling contractors, geotechnical contractors, mining survey contractors, rock support contractors and infrastructure maintenance specialists. Each trade can introduce different risk exposures.
Insurance requirements may depend on whether the contractor installs equipment, provides design advice, carries out inspections, operates plant, supervises other trades, manages subcontractors or works in confined spaces. Professional Indemnity Insurance may be relevant where design, specification, surveying, inspection, consultancy or engineering advice is provided.
Mine Infrastructure, Underground Construction And Specialist Mining Operations
Mine Shafts, Declines, Drifts And Adits
Mine access contractors may work on shafts, declines, drifts, adits, ventilation shafts, escape shafts, access tunnels and underground roadways. These structures can be essential to both production and emergency access, and their construction or maintenance may involve specialist methods, temporary support and careful ground control.
Shaft sinking contractors and underground access contractors may face risks involving heavy lifting, hoisting systems, confined spaces, ground instability, rock falls, dewatering, ventilation, drilling, blasting support and specialist plant. Insurance arrangements may need to consider contract works, plant, employers' liability, public liability, professional indemnity and engineering inspection requirements.
Headframes, Hoisting Systems And Ore Passes
Mine infrastructure may include headframes, hoisting systems, ore passes, skip systems, loading points and materials handling structures. Contractors working on these assets may be involved in structural steelwork, mechanical installation, electrical systems, inspection, maintenance, repairs and replacement works.
Where lifting systems, mechanical equipment or critical access infrastructure are involved, Engineering Inspection Insurance and specialist plant considerations may be relevant. The broker may need to understand whether the contractor designs, installs, tests, commissions, inspects or maintains the equipment, and whether work is carried out during active production or shutdown periods.
Mine Roads, Haul Roads And Access Infrastructure
Mine road contractors may build haul roads, access roads, service roads, ramps, benches, bridges, culverts, retaining walls, hardstanding areas and traffic routes for heavy mining vehicles. These assets can carry rigid dump trucks, articulated dump trucks, wheel loaders, support vehicles, fuel vehicles and emergency response vehicles.
Haul road construction and maintenance may involve earthworks, drainage, compaction, surfacing, dust suppression, slope management and traffic segregation. Insurance discussions may need to include plant movement, third-party property damage, employee safety, vehicle risks, contract works and the consequences of infrastructure failure.
Processing Plants, Crushers, Screens And Wash Plants
Mining infrastructure contractors may work on processing plants, crushing plants, screening plants, wash plants, ore handling systems, conveyors, hoppers, chutes, transfer stations and related mechanical infrastructure. These projects can involve installation, maintenance, refurbishment, structural support, electrical systems and testing activity.
Processing plant work may involve moving machinery, guarding, lifting operations, electrical systems, dust, noise, confined spaces and shutdown pressures. Public Liability Insurance, Employers' Liability Insurance, Contractors All Risks Insurance, Plant Insurance and Professional Indemnity Insurance may need to be considered where contractors install, modify or advise on process infrastructure.
Conveyor Systems And Materials Handling
Conveyor installation contractors may work on conveyor belts, transfer points, support structures, rollers, drives, guarding, control systems, emergency stops and materials handling routes. Conveyors can be used for ore, aggregates, coal, industrial minerals, waste material and processed products.
Conveyor projects can involve work at height, lifting operations, electrical interfaces, guarding risks, moving machinery and production-critical equipment. A specialist broker may ask about installation methods, maintenance activities, testing, commissioning, subcontractors, shutdown work and whether the contractor provides design or specification advice.
Tailings Dams, Tailings Storage Facilities And Settlement Lagoons
Tailings storage facilities, tailings dams and settlement lagoons can create significant engineering and environmental considerations. Contractors may be involved in earthworks, embankment construction, lining, drainage, monitoring systems, water management, maintenance, reinforcement, rehabilitation and closure works.
Tailings and settlement lagoon projects may involve pollution liability, environmental permits, slope stability, water management, contaminated materials, seepage, flood risk and potential third-party damage. A specialist broker may need details of the contractor's role, design responsibility, engineering supervision, environmental controls and experience with similar projects.
Mine Water Management And Dewatering Systems
Mine water management contractors may work on dewatering systems, pump stations, pipelines, settlement ponds, water treatment plants, drainage channels, lagoons, sump systems and emergency pumping arrangements. Water ingress and flooding can be major operational risks for both underground and surface mining sites.
Dewatering contractors may use pumps, generators, pipework, control systems, lifting equipment and temporary installations. Insurance considerations may include plant, contract works, public liability, pollution liability, professional indemnity where design or advice is provided, and business interruption exposure if works are critical to mine operation.
Mine Ventilation And Underground Services
Mining ventilation contractors may install, maintain or modify fans, ducting, ventilation shafts, control doors, monitoring equipment and underground airflow systems. Ventilation is particularly important in underground mining because it can affect dust, heat, gas, fumes and emergency escape conditions.
Insurance discussions may need to consider the contractor's technical responsibilities, whether design advice is provided, the impact of defective work, working in confined spaces and the safety-critical nature of ventilation infrastructure. Professional Indemnity Insurance may be important where ventilation calculations, specifications or engineering recommendations are supplied.
Explosives Stores, Fuel Depots And Site Compounds
Mine infrastructure can include explosives stores, fuel depots, workshops, warehouses, maintenance depots, site compounds, mine camps, temporary offices and welfare facilities. Contractors may be involved in construction, refurbishment, installation, servicing and maintenance of these support assets.
Explosives and fuel-related infrastructure can create specialist safety, environmental and regulatory exposures. A broker may need to understand whether the contractor handles explosive materials, works near explosives stores, installs fuel systems, maintains fuel depots, stores fuel on site or works under strict permit-to-work controls.
Temporary Mining Infrastructure And Mine Camps
Temporary mining infrastructure may include site compounds, accommodation areas, welfare facilities, temporary workshops, storage areas, temporary roads, temporary power, lighting, water supplies and communications equipment. These facilities may support exploration, mine development, shutdowns, rehabilitation or remote operations.
Temporary infrastructure can still carry significant insurance considerations because it may house staff, store equipment, support expensive plant and operate in remote environments. A specialist broker may need to understand the location, security, construction type, duration of use, fire controls, employee numbers and the value of equipment or materials on site.
Need Insurance For A Mining Infrastructure Contracting Business?
Mining infrastructure contractors, mine construction companies, mining civil engineering contractors and mineral extraction infrastructure specialists often undertake complex work involving heavy plant, underground construction, environmental liabilities, contract works and high-risk engineering projects. Quote Monkey may be able to introduce suitable enquiries to a specialist broker experienced in arranging insurance for mining infrastructure contractors and related businesses.
Mining Projects, Specialist Plant, Regulations And High Risk Working Environments
Mining Sectors And Mineral Extraction Environments
Mining infrastructure contractors may support projects connected with gold mines, copper mines, tin mines, lithium mines, nickel mines, lead mines, zinc mines, iron ore mines, coal mines, salt mines, potash mines, gypsum mines, china clay operations, kaolin extraction, slate operations, aggregate extraction, industrial minerals and rare earth mineral projects.
Different minerals can create different working environments, processing methods, infrastructure needs and environmental exposures. A contractor working on a lithium mine processing facility may have different insurance considerations from a contractor maintaining coal mine access roads, supporting slate extraction, installing conveyors at an aggregate site or working on potash mine infrastructure.
Surface Mining, Open Cast Mining And Open Pit Projects
Surface mining and open pit projects may involve large excavation areas, haul roads, benches, ramps, stockpiles, slopes, drainage systems, processing areas and heavy plant routes. Contractors may be engaged to construct, maintain, expand or rehabilitate these assets.
Key risk exposures can include slope instability, rock falls, vehicle movements, dust, noise, vibration, weather, water runoff, unstable ground and interaction with production operations. A specialist broker may ask how work areas are segregated, how heavy vehicles are managed and whether the contractor is exposed to blasting areas or active extraction zones.
Underground Mining Projects And Confined Spaces
Underground mining projects can involve shafts, adits, declines, drifts, crosscuts, ventilation systems, escape routes, underground pumping, rock support and service installations. Contractors working underground may need to comply with strict site rules, permit-to-work systems, ventilation requirements and emergency procedures.
Underground environments may involve confined spaces, limited access, reduced visibility, heat, dust, gases, water ingress, ground movement and emergency escape considerations. Employers' Liability Insurance and health and safety management information may be especially important where employees work in these environments.
Exploration, Drilling And Geotechnical Contractors
Exploration contractors, diamond drilling contractors, blast hole drilling contractors, geotechnical contractors and mining survey contractors may work during early-stage exploration, mine development, expansion, monitoring or remediation. Their work may involve drilling rigs, sampling, boreholes, geotechnical testing, slope assessment, ground investigation and site surveying.
These activities can create exposures involving plant, remote locations, underground conditions, unstable ground, vehicle access, environmental disturbance and professional advice. Professional Indemnity Insurance may be relevant where geological interpretation, technical reporting, survey data or geotechnical recommendations are provided.
Ground Stabilisation, Rock Bolting And Shotcrete
Ground stabilisation contractors may provide rock bolting, mesh installation, shotcrete, slope stabilisation, retaining systems, ground anchors, sprayed concrete, support structures and remediation works. These activities can be critical in underground mines, surface mines, access roads, benches and processing areas.
Ground support work can involve working at height, difficult access, rock fall risk, unstable slopes, confined areas, heavy equipment and specialist materials. A broker may need to understand whether the contractor designs support systems, follows client specifications, installs temporary works or provides inspection and maintenance services.
Mining Plant And Equipment
Mining infrastructure contractors may use excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, rigid dump trucks, articulated dump trucks, haul trucks, drilling rigs, raise borers, roadheaders, continuous miners, rock drills, shotcrete pumps, crushers, conveyors, compressors, pumps, ventilation equipment, mobile cranes, survey equipment, drones and GPS machine control.
Plant Insurance, Hired In Plant Insurance and Own Plant Insurance may need careful review because mining equipment can be high value, mobile, exposed to harsh environments and used in remote or high-risk locations. The broker may ask about ownership, hire conditions, maintenance, operator competence, security, storage and transport arrangements.
Heavy Plant Operations And Vehicle Movement
Heavy plant operations can involve large machinery, restricted visibility, uneven ground, steep gradients, haul roads, reversing areas, workshops, refuelling points and interaction with other contractors. Vehicle movement can be one of the most significant operational hazards on mining infrastructure sites.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance, Fleet Insurance, plant cover and liability insurance may all be relevant depending on whether vehicles are road-registered, site-only, owned, hired or operated by subcontractors. A specialist broker may need to understand site traffic management, driver training, maintenance procedures and whether vehicles travel on public roads.
Explosives, Blasting Support And High Risk Site Controls
Some mining infrastructure contractors may work near blasting operations, explosives stores or drill and blast activity, even if they do not directly handle explosives. Others may provide support infrastructure, access works, drilling activity or maintenance around controlled blasting areas.
Explosives-related exposures can influence insurance discussions because they are highly regulated and can increase the potential severity of loss. A broker may ask whether the contractor handles explosives, works under the direction of a blasting contractor, enters exclusion zones or carries out work near explosives storage facilities.
Dust, Silica And Respiratory Exposure Management
Mining infrastructure work can create dust exposures, including respirable crystalline silica, mineral dust, construction dust and dust from cutting, drilling, crushing, excavation or vehicle movement. Dust suppression and respiratory controls may form part of the contractor's risk management arrangements.
Employers' Liability Insurance considerations may be influenced by the nature of employee exposure, PPE, monitoring, training, health surveillance and dust control measures. A specialist broker may ask about silica management, water suppression, extraction, enclosed cabins, masks, site monitoring and compliance with client procedures.
Mine Water, Flooding And Environmental Monitoring
Mine infrastructure contractors may face water-related exposures including flooding, water ingress, dewatering failures, contaminated runoff, settlement pond issues, mine water treatment, pump failures and environmental monitoring requirements. Water management can be critical to both safety and environmental compliance.
Environmental Liability Insurance and Pollution Liability Insurance may be considered where a contractor could contribute to contamination, discharge, silt migration, fuel spills, hydraulic oil leaks or damage to water treatment systems. A broker may need to understand environmental permits, pollution prevention measures, spill response and water quality monitoring arrangements.
Remote Working And Emergency Response
Many mining infrastructure projects take place in remote or difficult-to-access areas, including upland sites, rural mineral extraction locations, underground workings, isolated quarries, former mine sites and large open pit operations. Remote working can affect emergency response, communications, welfare, transport, supervision and equipment recovery.
Emergency response planning may need to address rescue arrangements, evacuation routes, medical support, communication systems, confined spaces, underground escape procedures, severe weather, flooding, plant breakdown and lone working. These controls may be relevant to both insurers and clients when assessing contractor suitability.
Mining Regulations And UK Compliance
Mining infrastructure contractors may need to operate within the framework of the Mines Regulations 2014, the Quarries Regulations where relevant, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act, CDM Regulations, Explosives Regulations, environmental permits and site-specific mine rules. The exact obligations will depend on the work, site and contractual role.
Insurance does not replace regulatory compliance, but a specialist broker may need to understand the contractor's approach to RAMS, permit-to-work systems, training, supervision, emergency escape procedures, ventilation management, dust suppression, water management and environmental monitoring. Good documentation can help explain the risk clearly to insurers.
Mining Contract Risk Management
Mining infrastructure contracts may include detailed insurance requirements, indemnity clauses, evidence of cover conditions, subcontractor controls, plant responsibilities, professional obligations and environmental responsibilities. Larger mine operators and principal contractors may require evidence that the contractor's insurance matches the work being undertaken.
A specialist broker may need to review the business activities, the contractual responsibilities assumed and the largest values exposed under a contract. This can be especially important where the contractor is responsible for design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, temporary works, environmental controls or critical infrastructure.
Insurance Considerations For Mining Infrastructure Contractors
Public Liability Insurance
Public Liability Insurance is often a core consideration for mining infrastructure contractors because work may involve third-party injury allegations, third-party property damage, plant operation, excavation, site traffic, construction work, mechanical installation, electrical works, environmental incidents and damage to client property.
The level and structure of Public Liability Insurance required may depend on the nature of the contracts, the client requirements, the mining environment, the use of subcontractors and the potential severity of incidents. A specialist broker will usually need to understand the contractor's activities in detail rather than treating the business as a general construction contractor.
Employers' Liability Insurance
Employers' Liability Insurance is generally relevant where a contractor employs staff, labour-only subcontractors, temporary workers, trainees or people under its control. Mining infrastructure contractors may employ plant operators, engineers, supervisors, electricians, mechanics, groundworkers, drilling crews, surveyors, site managers and maintenance teams.
Employee exposures can include underground work, confined spaces, heavy plant, dust, silica, noise, vibration, rock falls, slips and trips, working at height, manual handling, remote working and emergency situations. A broker may ask about training, competence, health surveillance, PPE, supervision, inductions and site-specific safety procedures.
Contractors All Risks And Contract Works Insurance
Contractors All Risks Insurance and Contract Works Insurance may be relevant where the contractor is responsible for works in progress, temporary works, construction materials, equipment awaiting installation or damage before completion. Mine infrastructure projects can involve high-value works and challenging site conditions.
Contract Works Insurance may need to reflect the largest project value, project duration, materials stored on site, temporary works, underground works, phased completion and whether the work is new construction, maintenance, remediation or rehabilitation. The broker may also need to understand whether the contractor is principal contractor, subcontractor or specialist trade contractor.
Plant Insurance, Hired In Plant And Own Plant
Mining infrastructure contractors may rely on expensive plant, including excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, dump trucks, drilling rigs, pumps, compressors, cranes, crushers, conveyors, shotcrete pumps, ventilation equipment and survey equipment. Plant may be owned, hired in, leased, supplied with operators or subcontracted.
Plant Insurance, Hired In Plant Insurance and Own Plant Insurance may need to consider theft, damage, breakdown, transit, storage, underground use, remote locations and harsh operating conditions. The broker may ask for plant schedules, replacement values, hire conditions, operator details, security arrangements and maintenance procedures.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional Indemnity Insurance may be relevant where a mining infrastructure contractor provides design, specification, technical advice, surveys, geotechnical reports, ventilation calculations, drainage advice, project management, inspection reports, engineering recommendations or consultancy. This can apply even where the business is primarily a contractor.
Professional exposures can arise from alleged errors, omissions, defective design, incorrect calculations, inadequate inspection, poor specification or failure to meet project requirements. A specialist broker may ask whether professional services are provided in-house, outsourced, peer reviewed or limited to work under client designs.
Environmental Liability And Pollution Liability
Environmental Liability Insurance and Pollution Liability Insurance may be important for contractors working with mine water, tailings, contaminated land, fuel depots, hydraulic plant, settlement lagoons, dewatering systems, water treatment plants, waste materials or rehabilitation projects. Pollution incidents can involve clean-up costs, regulatory action and third-party claims.
A broker may ask about environmental permits, fuel storage, spill kits, waste handling, silt control, water monitoring, contaminated land procedures, tailings work, emergency response and subcontracted environmental specialists. These details can help present the contractor's risk controls clearly to insurers.
Commercial Vehicle, Fleet And Goods In Transit Insurance
Mining infrastructure contractors may operate vans, pickups, HGVs, low loaders, support vehicles, site vehicles, service vehicles and mobile workshops. Vehicles may carry tools, parts, materials, plant components, fuel, survey equipment and specialist maintenance equipment.
Commercial Vehicle Insurance, Fleet Insurance and Goods In Transit Insurance may need to reflect road use, site-only use, driver types, remote locations, vehicle values and the nature of goods transported. Contractors that transport plant, components or expensive equipment may need more detailed review than a standard trade vehicle policy can provide.
Cyber, Directors And Officers, Legal Expenses And Business Interruption
Cyber Insurance may be relevant where mining infrastructure contractors use online tender portals, digital drawings, site access systems, equipment monitoring software, remote surveying, drones, GPS machine control, cloud project systems, payroll software and customer records. Cyber incidents can disrupt tendering, project management and financial administration.
Directors' and Officers' Insurance may be considered where directors or senior managers could face allegations linked to company decisions. Legal Expenses Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance and Business Interruption Insurance may also be relevant depending on the structure of the business, reliance on key plant, premises, specialist staff and project continuity.
Engineering Inspection Insurance
Engineering Inspection Insurance may be relevant where a contractor owns or operates equipment subject to statutory inspection, such as lifting equipment, pressure systems, cranes, compressors or certain workshop machinery. Mining contractors may also use plant and equipment that requires careful inspection and maintenance records.
A specialist broker may need to understand what equipment the contractor owns, hires or operates, whether inspections are handled internally or externally, and whether equipment is used underground, at surface mines, in workshops or on multiple client sites. Inspection arrangements can be important for both compliance and claims defensibility.
Information A Specialist Broker May Require
A specialist broker may ask for details of the contractor's trade activities, mining sectors served, annual turnover, largest contracts, underground work, surface work, employee numbers, subcontractor usage, plant values, vehicle details, professional services, environmental exposures, claims history and health and safety documentation.
For mining infrastructure contractors, additional information may be needed about Mines Regulations 2014 compliance, Quarries Regulations exposure, CDM responsibilities, RAMS, permit-to-work systems, confined space procedures, ventilation management, emergency escape planning, dust suppression, water management, environmental permits and work involving explosives or tailings facilities.
Request A Specialist Broker Referral
Mining Infrastructure Contractor Insurance can be specialist because mine construction and mineral extraction support work combines construction risk, mining risk, heavy plant, environmental liability, professional exposures, employee safety and complex contract conditions. Requirements can vary depending on whether the contractor works underground, at surface mines, on processing plant, on haul roads, on tailings facilities, or on rehabilitation and closure projects.
