Vladimir's experience includes hydrogeological data analysis, developing conceptual and numerical groundwater flow and solute transport models for the mining projects. Vladimir also specializes in the optimization of well fields and other dewatering systems for open-pit, underground, and ISR mines, predicting quantity and quality of inflow into open pits and underground mines. He works diligently in estimating dewatering requirements and designing dewatering systems, evaluating pit walls/underground workings depressurization requirements and pore pressures as input for slope/roof stability modelling, predicting environmental impacts of mining and dewatering to water levels, streams, lakes, and swamp areas, and predicting pit-lake infilling and underground mine flooding during post-mining condition. Other specializations include the evaluation of commercial-scale brine extraction projects, reserve estimating by developing dynamic density driven groundwater and solute transport models, and optimization of brine extraction wellfields. Vladimir fulfills the requirements to be a “Qualified Person” for the purposes of NI 43-101 reporting in the area of hydrogeology/geology.
