The challenge

What holds mining operations back

Nigeria's mining and heavy-industry sector is growing, often in remote locations with rapidly changing sites, heavy mobile equipment, and a workforce that is new to formal safety systems. OakAssist helps operators keep an accurate picture of a site that changes every week, and prepares workers for hazardous tasks before they are exposed to them.

  1. 01

    Sites that change week to week

    Excavation, stockpiles, haul roads, and processing areas evolve constantly. Plans quickly go out of date, affecting safety, volumes, and planning.

  2. 02

    High-hazard work with a developing workforce

    Heavy mobile equipment, blasting, and processing plant require disciplined procedure, often from crews with limited formal safety training.

  3. 03

    Remote locations and limited specialist access

    Getting engineers and trainers to site is slow and expensive, so inspections and training happen less often than they should.

  4. 04

    Growing expectations on safety and environment

    Regulators, communities, and investors increasingly expect evidence of safe operations, trained personnel, and responsible site management.

How OakAssist helps

Two solutions, one operating picture

Digital assets give your teams an accurate view of the facility. Training-as-a-Service prepares your people to work in it safely and keeps the evidence current. Use either on its own, or combine them so training is built from your real site data.

01 Know your facility

Digital Assets

Repeatable capture gives mine and plant teams an up-to-date view of a changing site.

  • Drone and LiDAR site surveys

    Capture pits, stockpiles, haul roads, and plant areas to support volume calculations, planning, and progress tracking.

  • Processing plant models

    As-built models of crushers, conveyors, and processing equipment support maintenance planning and safe access design.

  • Scheduled re-capture

    Regular updates show how the site has changed, giving managers and engineers a dependable record over time.

02 Prepare your people

Training-as-a-Service (TaaS)

Training-as-a-Service brings structured, repeatable safety training to remote crews.

  • Hazard awareness and site induction in VR

    New workers experience the site, its hazards, and its rules virtually before they set foot in the pit or plant.

  • Equipment and procedure practice

    Scenarios cover mobile-equipment interaction, isolation, and emergency response so crews build safe habits without real-world risk.

  • Training that reaches remote sites

    Portable VR and a central portal deliver consistent training and competency records without flying trainers to every location.

From site data to site-ready teams

Combine both solutions to turn your facility's digital twin into a training environment. Teams practise in a place they recognise, before they work in it.
