ABOUT US
Alios is an environmentally aware specialist rehabilitation company that aims to create a safe and sustainable working environment for our employees, our clients and the surrounding communities.
To achieve this we focus on offsetting the cleanup costs of mine tailings storage facilities by reprocessing the contents of the storage facility.
Alios has evolved from FDP Mining Pty Ltd (FDP); a Bowen Basin mining services and project management company that has managed over $1.2B AUD mine site infrastructure, production and rehabilitation projects since 2008. FDP has maintained an enviable safety record of over 120,000 hours lost time injury-free with a TRIFR of 0.
Over this period FDP has undertaken an extensive innovation and engineering program to refine an ancient mining technology – hydromining – harnessing and concentrating the power of water to safely mine tailings resources. Alios has the exclusive license to bring this unique offering to clients globally – for all mined commodities.
