Geotechnical Engineering ● Geo-Environmental Engineering ● Risk Assessment ● Design Reviews ● Safety Audits

Our extensive first-hand knowledge of the mining industry enables us to provide geotechnical engineering services for the evaluation and design of pit walls, waste dumps and tailings dams.  We also design instrumentation and monitoring programs to ensure the safety of geo-engineered structures during and beyond the mine’s operating lifespan.

We are literally leading the way to the future in such areas as mine waste management, mine closure, soft tailings issues and alternative tailings technologies.

Our geo-engineering group is actively involved in risk assessment work in North America and around the world, helping manage risk and maintaining the viability of operations.

We carry out design reviews and safety audits of mine structures from small water impoundments to major tailings dams and waste embankments.  Our teams work directly for operators to:

• carry out internal reviews
• act as independent third party reviewers for financial institutions, insurers and corporate acquisition groups, and
• assist in developing optimal mining practices while ensuring stability of pit walls and waste dumps.
