Your Guide to Optimizing Asset Performance
Revolutionizing Mining Efficiency with The Sortor Group
Mining operations today face intense pressure: rising costs, aging fleets, ESG expectations, and market volatility. Staying ahead requires more than operational know how. It demands smarter systems, data-driven decisions, and maintenance strategies that boost reliability and reduce downtime. At The Sortor Group, we don’t just solve problems. We transform mining performance. If you’re ready to break through bottlenecks and capture measurable value, we’re the partner that gets it done.
In open-pit coal mining, our team redesigned workflows to streamline equipment usage, accelerate parts procurement, and optimize scheduling. The impact was a 20% reduction in turnaround times. In the oil sands, we delivered a 40% boost in maintenance productivity, translating to $35 million in value through improved availability of haul trucks, shovels, and contractor-managed assets.
We specialize in turning reactive maintenance into a proactive, performance driven system. In a phosphate room and pillar operation, we introduced advanced inspections, repair prioritization, and supply chain analysis to elevate equipment uptime dramatically. Haul trucks improved from 78% to 91%, and continuous miners reached 98% availability. These results are the product of targeted systems, trained teams, and a culture of operational excellence.
What truly sets us apart is our ability to deliver sustainable, customized improvements that align with your specific goals. Our work in coal operations has proven the value of preventive maintenance programs, smarter inventory practices, and sharper repair prioritization. Initiatives like pre-delivery inspections led to a 9% increase in equipment reliability, delivering direct gains to the bottom line.
At The Sortor Group, we blend innovation, deep mining expertise, and hands on leadership to unlock lasting results. Whether your challenge is aging equipment, productivity plateaus, or cost control, we are ready to help you turn maintenance into momentum. Let’s talk about how we can move your operation forward.
