Piran Mining UK
Piran Mining UK
About Us
Piran UK was established in 2017, initially resourced by one of our senior mining engineers who relocated to the UK from Australia. Since 2017 Piran UK has grown notably, providing an increasing range of services to clients in Western Europe, Canada and the USA. All of whom are within easy reach of direct flights from one of the major UK airports.
Since the Covid pandemic Piran UK has expanded further with a dedicated base being established in Cornwall, home to much of the UK’s mining heritage and the industry famous Camborne School of Mines. Here Piran UK has entered into strategic alliances with several other high quality and experienced service providers. This has led to the development of new systems that we believe will better serve our clients. Together this enables Piran UK to provide a broader service base to clients who are dealing with natural resource linked projects.
In short, if your project involves rock, sand, soil or aggregate, then we can probably add value, bring clarity and mitigate risk.
Introducing a New Cutting Edge Geotechnical Assessment Package
Piran UK is proud to unveil a revolutionary approach to the process of Ground Investigation and subsequent Stabilisation work that includes the ability to remotely view and adjust plans accordingly from anywhere in the world, in real-time, with just an internet connection.
This leap forward in productivity can transform traditional Geotechnical Assessments into a dynamic, responsive process across:
-
Difficult to access or inaccessible areas impacting public spaces (eg, coastal cliffs, hillside walking trails, converted or disused quarries, etc.)
-
-
Civil Engineering (Roads, Rails, Tunnels, Maritime Structures)
-
-
Tailings Dam or Spoil Heap Management
-
-
Quarrying

Key Advantages:
-
Reduced Risk Exposure: Our method drastically cuts down on-site personnel exposure, minimizing safety or security risks and project logistics.
-
-
Speed and Efficiency: Once established real-time remote access allows for immediate assessment and decisions, significantly speeding up project delivery and reconciliation.
-
-
Cost-Effectiveness: The ability to manage overall survey control from any location leads to substantial savings on travel and time.
-
-
Universal Application: Suitable for all geographical conditions, with the added benefit of global accessibility.
Service Components:
1. Ground Investigation
The Ground Investigation (GI) process involves an initial stage of overall GI strategy discussion with the client. This ensures Piran obtains a comprehensive understanding of any and all sensitivities relating to the project. From this the GI design is completed. Piran can then safely and efficiently manage the site investigation works, organising both in-situ and laboratory testing services as required. This approach ensures that all aspects of the investigation are meticulously planned and executed, leading to accurate and reliable results.
2. Ground Stabilisation
Once the GI work is completed the ground stabilisation process can commence. This may include discrete slope failure analysis and probabilistic modelling using various industry recognised software systems. A risk assessment will also be conducted to ensure the level of stabilisation ultimately selected is fit for purpose. Consideration of implementation constraints or the use of remote solutions for inaccessible or sensitive locations are also key in the process. Piran can also offer both short-term and long-term monitoring services, even for normally inaccessible sites using high precision measurement systems, ensuring early warning of any measurable change in the project condition. Further details will be discussed and refined on a project specific basis.
Why Piran Mining UK?
Our proprietary technological approach not only offers insights that traditional methods can't match but also introduces the ability to manage and oversee site investigations that are either remote or difficult to access. Ongoing monitoring and reconciliation of the project is also available at varying frequencies depending on the risk profile. This focus on safety, speed of data capture, and cost-effectiveness is paired with unparalleled real-time flexibility and accuracy.

Services
Civil Engineering
Whatever your project is subject to – from soils to fresh rock we can conduct the necessary testing, analysis and design. Whether it is for straight forward footings or large scale cut and fill earth works, mass piling, etc, our experience spans across the civils spectrum.
We have operational experience across both private and public infrastructure works. We can apply cutting edge knowledge and experience gained from numerous private sector projects where safety, efficiency and durations are paramount to the success of the project.
Mining Subsidence
Piran Mining UK specialises in working on projects with geotechnically challenging conditions. We can effectively manage mining subsidence risk through utilizing monitoring, prediction models, and mitigation strategies, such as ground support techniques, to minimize risks and prevent damage to infrastructure.
The project example presented here identified suspected mining induced subsidence using our remote drone based Lidar service. This can survey x hectares per day.
Following review of the initial data a follow up inspection of these suspect areas using additional remote technology provides quantifiable dimensions of the depressions. On ground verification was conducted in this example although this may not be recommended depending on the outcomes of a site specific risk assessment. Ongoing monitoring of these features can now be maintained by fully remote means eliminating any risk to personnel or assets.

-
We're dedicated to providing exceptional service and tailored solutions for our clients' unique needs.
Drone Based Photogrammetry
By utilising drone technology, we can deliver high-accuracy aerial mapping and photogrammetry. Our drone-based surveys are safe and cost-effective for both small and large site areas, providing access to challenging terrain without additional overheads or closures. High-resolution drone images enable inspection of hard-to-access areas that can be used to critically assess conditions prior to mobilisation of plant and personnel.
With minimal site time we can generate detailed digital surface models – pre and post project. Our 3D models will enable precise volume calculations. These site models provide the corner stone to the accurate design and management of any civil or mining construction activity as well as general monitoring of site progress. Capturing data is quicker than any land-based or traditional methods, providing a faster turnaround on delivery.
As well as standard imaging we can also provide multi sensor spectral analysis to provide greater detail regarding the overall condition of your project area.
