Engineering services are provided to develop or remediate mines
to current environmental standards. Environmental problems and
solutions usually involve a combination of technologies,
including geochemistry, geotechnics, hydrogeology, hydrology,
acid mine drainage, water chemistry and contaminant transport,
land use, revegetation, and a thorough understanding of
regulatory requirements together with the engineering options
and controls that may be applicable. Environmental engineering
services provided include site assessments to determine if
environmental problems exist or could develop, evaluations of
alternative control measures and the design and construction
supervision of mine waste storage facilities and specific
environmental protection measures (e.g. covers, liners). Typical
Services Include - Site Selection - ARD Prediction & Control -
Design of Tailings Storage Facilities - Design of Cover & Liner
