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:
