In the last quarter of 2013, MINTEK appointed SRK to provide engineering and design services for mine rehabilitation projects at several derelict/abandoned asbestos mine sites in the Limpopo and Northern Cape Provinces, SA. SRK deployed a multidisciplinary team to assist in identifying site-specific risks for which remedial measures are required. This experience has reinforced SRK knowledge about appropriate and practical solutions when dealing with contaminated sites and the need to use a dynamic approach that is tailored to the risks presented by specific factors at each site.
