Who We Are

A Specialist Partner For Safety-Critical Site Work

LSD Projects is a dynamic, well-established company, with a wide range of Mining and Civil related experience and expertise, with the ability to apply our professionalism towards meeting set targets and achieving most requirements.

LSD Projects operates as a private company. The company's objective and focus is to constantly expand, always looking for new areas to start and apply our operations.

What We Do

Full-Spectrum Mining Site Support

Nine core service lines, delivered by our own crews and supervised on-site from mobilisation to close-out.

Drop Raise

Drop raising services supporting shaft and ore-pass development, executed to strict geotechnical and safety specifications.

Secondary Support

Wire mesh and lacing, anchors, stick support, and packs — secondary support systems that keep underground workings safe and stable.

Vamping and Sweeping

Clearing ore, waste, and debris from underground workings, keeping haulage routes and working areas productive and safe.

Underground Construction and on Surface

Construction services delivered both underground and on surface, adapted to the specific demands of each site.

Vacuum Cleaning Systems

Industrial vacuum cleaning systems for material recovery and site cleanliness in demanding mining environments.

Diamond Drilling

Precision diamond drilling for exploration, grade control, and geotechnical investigation, delivering accurate core samples.

Haulage Construction

Construction and maintenance of haulage infrastructure that keeps ore and waste moving efficiently underground.

Reclamation

Reclamation services that recover value from tailings and previously mined material.

Stoping & Development

Stoping in unsupported areas and ore-body development work, executed to strict safety and geotechnical specification.

Our Mission

To be recognised as the preeminent “Drill and Blasting” company in the mining industry through quality and excellence without compromise to safety.

LSD Projects is cognisant of the current climate in the mining industry. We have seen the current challenges as opportunities to improve efficiencies where we deliver more with less.
