The 2026 Book 1 of 'A Guide to the GCC Mines Plant Engineering Exam' is a complete, structured review of all the core plant engineering theory required to pass the GCC Mines exams. It takes the vast, scattered syllabus and organises it into a clear, logical, exam-ready learning path. This book is ideal for candidates who need to strengthen fundamentals before tackling past papers and complex technical problems.
The 2026 Book 1 forms part of the GCC Mines Plant Engineering series, developed to help candidates bridge the gap between theory and exam application.

A Guide to the GCC Mines Plant Engineering Exam 2026 Book 1
The 2026 Book 1 of 'A Guide to the GCC Mines Plant Engineering Exam' is a physical textbook that covers the complete theory from:
- Part 1: Safety & Management
- Part 2: Electrical Technology
- Part 3: Applied Thermodynamics
- Part 4: Structures & Strength of Materials
- Part 5: Theory of Machines
- Part 6: Fluid Mechanics
Each section has been rewritten in a modern, simplified, and engineering-practical way to help candidates understand, not memorise, the concepts.
What's included:
- Over 34 structured chapters aligned to the official GCC Mines Plant Engineering syllabus that included clear chapter introductions, learning outcomes, key definitions, fundamental principles, detailed explanations with diagrams, worked mini-examples to reinforce concepts, common exam pitfalls, and summary notes with essential formulas.
- Updated explanations based on modern mining and industrial practice, which include engineering concepts and examples relevant to various mines (coal, gold, platinum), process plants, electrical distribution systems, mechanical handling systems, thermodynamic systems (steam, refrigeration, compressed gases), winding plant, and lifting equipment.
- High-quality diagrams, illustrations, and practical examples to help simplify complex theory.
- Key formula sheets are embedded within each chapter with explanations, definitions, and application examples.
- MHSA, SANS, and ISO engineering context, where the syllabus touches legislative or safety-critical engineering requirements, is designed to help GCC Mines Candidates understand the regulatory environment of mining operations.
