Mining

Effective Solutions for Dams, Tailings, and Mining Sectors

Your Challenges

From life-saving medical devices and medicines to the phones we use and everything in between, globally, we heavily rely on the mining industry to provide for us every day. It is also an industry that carries tremendous responsibilities, including: tailings management, regulatory compliance, and faces some of the largest geotechnical and environmental challenges across the world.

The challenges you may face include, constructing infrastructure with limited by physical space, time or cost; and constructing, upgrading, and reclaiming tailings management facilities throughout the life of the mine. We’re here to help you mitigate the risk posed by poor ground conditions that can be disruptive, even catastrophic to your operation. We support you, by using highly-effective and efficient ground improvement systems that help you by:

  • Controlling Seepage
  • Seismic Upgrading
  • Mitigating Liquefaction Risk
  • Optimizing Construction Sequencing
  • Compacting Soils
  • Stabilizing Slopes
  • Increasing Bearing Capacity
  • Environmental Risk: Reducing Tailings Seepage and Improving Water Management
  • Worker and Public Safety Risk: Improving Tailings Dam Structural Integrity
  • Regulatory Compliance Risk: Establishing Facility Capacity Limits, Dam Inspections, and Closure Plans
  • Economic Risk: Tailings Capacity and Construction Optimization, Improving Production Targets

Types of Infrastructure
