Feasibility Studies
Martin Consultants, Inc was founded in 1976 to provide state-of-the-art consulting and engineering support services to firms in the mining and related industries. During the intervening years, they have earned a solid reputation for responding quickly to project needs with economic solutions that match the client’s requirements. When Martin Consultants merged with Overland Conveyor Co in 2000, we inherited many capcabilities in the the area of Feasibility Studies. Thomas J.
