Tailings & Waste
Safe storage for the long run
We design for long-term safety and sustainability. With experts located on six continents, we bring worldwide experience in all phases of design and implementation for tailings management projects. We believe tailings management is critical. It’s a core service, and we have experience under a variety of climatic, social, environmental, and regulatory conditions. Our experience in tailings allow us to provide a full spectrum of tailings solutions including Engineer of Record (EoR) services.
Engineer of record services
Our work is done to the latest standards in the tailings community. This includes guidance from groups like the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management, International Council on Mining & Metals, Mining Association of Canada, International Organization for Standardization, or International Committee on Large Dams. We specialize in gap analyses to get sites up to the “new standards,” and have the track record to serve as a trusted advisor for any tailings project.Day to day operations
We serve clients throughout the life of the mine, including operational services to reduce both costs and risks. Core operational services include engineer of record services, engineered risk assessments, life cycle analyses, and water and energy audits.Reduce risks
