Overview

Mining is where Zenith Engineering was built. Our team has worked inside operating plants on the Copperbelt — fabricating acid-plant ducting, recasting slabs in cobalt purification, fabricating discharge chutes and carrying out maintenance during monthly concentrator shutdowns.

We combine electrical, mechanical and civil skills with a supply and labour-hire offering, so a mine can call one contractor for the whole job.

Safety first

Working safely inside live operations.

Our crews work to the site’s permit-to-work, lock-out and PPE requirements, with calibrated electrical test equipment — insulation-resistance, ductor, secondary-injection and earth-resistance testers — and the scaffolds, ladders, signage and first aid needed for plant work.
