During a mine’s operating phase, adept water management can engender compliance with environmental regulations and achievement of production goals.
Our risk-based approach to mine water management combines expertise in hydrology, hydraulics, hydrogeology, and water quality with geotechnical, environmental, and mining skills. Taking account of site-wide water balances (including climatic influences), we integrate mine planning and operations with surface and groundwater management systems.
We are experts in managing mine water from production to closure, among other things anticipating and mitigating engineering problems and avoiding environmental challenges such as acid rock drainage.
