Accuracy from ore body to processing plant
We align terminology across geology reports, mine plans, process flowsheets, equipment datasheets, reagent systems, crushing, grinding, flotation, smelting and refining documentation.
Mining & Metallurgy EPC/EPCM
Mining and metallurgy document translation
We translate feasibility studies, mine plans, process flowsheets, equipment manuals, EPC contracts, HSE, QA/QC and commissioning packages while preserving terminology, file formats and Document Control structure.

When to involve HELVETIA
When mining documentation must stay accurate from geology to operations
These are the situations where mining and metallurgy teams usually bring us in.
Feasibility, tender or EPC deadlines are close
Mine plans, P&ID, drawings or PDF packages must keep their structure
Geology, processing, HSE and operations need one terminology standard
OEM manuals and shutdown packages must be clear for maintenance teams
HSE, permits or environmental files must be ready for review
Large technical packages require controlled delivery and NDA
How we reduce project risk
Technical translation that protects production safety and process continuity
Mining and metallurgical projects combine geology, process engineering, heavy equipment, HSE and strict operating procedures. We keep multilingual documentation aligned so design, procurement, construction and operations teams work from the same technical meaning.
Control for heavy equipment and shutdown work
Translation Memory and dedicated teams help process OEM manuals, maintenance procedures, shutdown packages and supplier clarifications without losing consistency in equipment names, tags and safety wording.
Clarity for HSE and regulatory review
We translate risk assessments, permits, emergency procedures, environmental materials and QA/QC dossiers with attention to units, limits, references, revisions and audit-ready formatting.
Documents we translate
From feasibility studies and mine plans to OEM manuals and HSE packages
Send one file or the full package. We work with documents used by project managers, mining engineers, metallurgists, process engineers, HSE teams, procurement teams, document controllers and owner representatives.
Feasibility studies, pre-feasibility studies and technical due diligence
Geology reports, resource statements and mine planning documentation
Open-pit and underground mine design packages
Process flowsheets, PFD, P&ID and metallurgical balance documents
Crushing, grinding, flotation, leaching, smelting and refining documentation
Concentrator, smelter, steel plant and auxiliary plant packages
OEM manuals for mills, crushers, conveyors, pumps and furnaces
EPC/EPCM contracts, FIDIC forms and commercial correspondence
HSE plans, risk assessments, permits and emergency procedures
Environmental impact assessment and tailings management documentation
QA/QC dossiers, ITP, inspection reports and test certificates
Commissioning, start-up, shutdown and O&M manuals
Need to translate mining or metallurgy documentation?
Send 1-2 files, the language pair, deadline and target format. We will estimate cost, timing and the delivery workflow within 1 hour.
How we control quality
A clear workflow for high-risk industrial documentation
Our workflow preserves terminology, values, references, tags and document structure across large engineering packages. Each stage is traceable from intake to final delivery.
01
Technical intake (Intake & Analysis)
We analyze commodity, engineering discipline, file formats, terminology density, revision logic, delivery schedule and required project environment before production starts.
02
Glossary and Translation Memory setup (Terminology Setup)
A project glossary is created for geology, mining, metallurgy, HSE, equipment and contract terminology. Translation Memory keeps notes, specifications and procedures consistent.
03
Engineering translation and editing (Engineering T-E-P)
Specialized translators and editors check technical meaning, process logic, quantities, units, equipment names, document codes, safety wording and internal references.
04
Final QA and workflow integration (Final Verification)
Automated QA and human review are combined before delivery in DOCX, XLSX, PDF/OCR, CAD markups, SharePoint, Aconex, ProjectWise or another project environment.
Formats, standards and systems
We work in the formats your mining project team uses
We preserve document control structure, drawing logic, revisions, tags, tables and cross-references while working with mining standards, metallurgical terminology and engineering platforms.

Frequent questions
What mining and metallurgy teams ask before start
Practical answers on feasibility studies, JORC/NI 43-101 materials, P&ID, OEM manuals, HSE documentation and terminology consistency.
Do you translate feasibility studies and mine planning documents?
Yes. We translate pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, geology reports, resource statements, mine plans, technical due diligence and related correspondence.
Can you work with processing plant drawings and P&ID?
Yes. We translate process flowsheets, P&ID, equipment layouts, specifications and CAD/PDF drawing packages while preserving tags, notes and document structure.
Do you translate OEM manuals for heavy mining equipment?
Yes. We handle manuals for crushers, mills, conveyors, pumps, screens, furnaces, loaders, trucks and auxiliary systems, including maintenance and spare parts documentation.
Do you support HSE and environmental documentation?
Yes. We translate HSE plans, permits, emergency procedures, risk assessments, environmental impact materials and tailings management documentation.
How do you keep mining and metallurgy terminology consistent?
We build a project glossary before large packages start and use Translation Memory across engineering, supplier and operational documentation.
Reduce multilingual project risks before they lead to delays and rework
On large projects, managers, engineers, contractors and suppliers need to understand documents in the same way. We align terminology, file versions and translation deadlines so language discrepancies do not bring work to a halt.
