HMQ Group · Gauteng, ZA

Mine-grade. Nothing less.

We design, build and support the hardware, drawings and data tools that keep mining and high-grade industrial operations running. Engineered to outlast the environment they're deployed in.

// 01 — Operating Principle

Systems that exceed environmental brutality.

Off-the-shelf hardware fails on South African mining and high-grade industrial sites. Dust ingress, vibration, surface temperature, voltage spikes — the operational envelope here is brutal, and most equipment is not specced for it.

We engineer to that envelope from the start. Every drawing, panel and chassis we ship is held to one test: will it still be there next shift.

What we ship.

02 — Capabilities

Three things, in service of one outcome. Engineered hardware, the drawings behind it, and the data that proves it's working.

HMQ Armour Glow technical drawing
01 / Systems

Hardware that stays running.

LED identification, safety control units, E-stop assemblies, sealed harness work and integrated field hardware. Built to IP68 where it matters, specced against the actual dust, vibration and temperature of the site it's going to.

02 / Design

Full engineering stack.

Mechanical, electrical, structural, sheet metal, architectural and engineering validation. All six disciplines sit in the same drawing office, on the same drawing set. No version drift, no handoff gaps, fabrication drawings that go straight to the shop floor.

03 / Analytics

Mine data, worked hard.

Predictive maintenance, fleet overview, safety risk analysis, fuel and production insights. Live dashboards and alerting that sit alongside the hardware, so the numbers running past the control room actually mean something.

Flagship products.

03 — Engineered Hardware

Field-ready hardware, manufactured locally and specced for high-grade industrial and mining duty cycles. Detailed environmental, electrical and mechanical specifications are provided per project.

04 — Engineering Disciplines

Six engineering disciplines under one roof. One coordinated drawing set means fewer handoffs, fewer gaps, and drawings that match what gets built.

Mechanical engineering reference image
01
Mechanical
Gearboxes, drives, weldments, shaft assemblies. If it rotates, transmits torque or carries a load, our mechanical team specs it, tolerances it and signs it off.
Sheet metal cabinetry reference
02
Sheet Metal
IP-rated enclosures, panel boxes, brackets, chassis, cabinetry. Drawings go straight to our local fabricators. We know which lines run which processes.
Electrical battery and PCB assembly reference
03
Electrical
Control panels, MCC integrations, PCB and battery assemblies, field wiring looms, PLC-ready schematics. Built to industrial standards, ready for first-pass commissioning.
Structural steel reference model
04
Structural & Steel
Pipe racks, access platforms, conveyor supports, load-bearing infrastructure. Calculated, stamped, ready to cut.
Architectural building model reference
05
Architectural
Control rooms, workshops, change houses, process buildings, industrial and residential builds. Functional structures designed around how they're actually used.
Engineering validation and structural analysis on a CAD model
06
Engineering Validation
Independent FEA, stress analysis and design review. We verify the numbers before they reach the shop floor — yours or ours.

About

Started with Identification. Developed into Engineering & Monitored by Data.

HMQ has engineered its own products and services to surpass client expectations and constantly outperform against environmental elements. We are a Level 4 B-BBEE Contributor.

If you are replacing systems, wiring or components within a few months, you need realistic engineered solutions.

Today we operate with a team of highly qualified engineers and fabricators across project design, engineering and analytics. Our manufacturing is done in-house and under one roof in Gauteng — from small to large mining solutions, we have you covered.

How a project moves.

05 — Project Flow

Four phases. Tight scope. One point of contact through the whole thing. No surprises between the quote and commissioning day.

01

Site & Scope

We walk the operation and talk to the people running it. Real constraints get pinned down in writing before a CAD file opens.

02

Design

All six disciplines coordinate on one model. You get one drawing pack, one BOM and one set of answers.

03

Manufacture

Fabrication in-house and through partner shops we've worked with for years. Short feedback cycles, weekly builds, no sea freight.

04

Commission

Site install, sign-off, handover. Analytics stay live after we leave so the system can prove itself in running.

Field Ready

Every unit is the last one that needs replacing.

The Armour Glow LED runs across open-pit and underground operations from the top of Namibia to Cape Town. We have a failure rate of 0.2% across all fields, with full replacement inside warranty date. If you want one, we will walk the pit with you first.
