Tailings & Mine Waste
Advance safe, responsible tailings and mine waste management across the project lifecycle.
By combining practical engineering experience with risk-based decision making, we deliver solutions that improve safety, performance, compliance, and confidence in managing complex tailings and mine waste challenges.
Our Services
Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs)
We provide TSF support across the mine lifecycle, including engineer-of-record services, design reviews, dam safety evaluations, risk assessments, operational support, and independent technical reviews to promote safe, efficient, and compliant operations.
Waste Rock, Overburden & Soil Dumps
We provide geotechnical support for waste rock dumps, overburden dumps, spoil piles, and soil stockpiles throughout their lifecycle. Our team evaluates stability, run-out and operational performance to support safe operation and long-term performance leading to closure.
Dam and Facilities Safety
We provide dam safety services for TSFs, water retention structures, and other tailings facilities. Our team conducts dam safety reviews, monitoring assessments, emergency preparedness planning, governance support, and independent technical reviews to support safe operation, regulatory compliance, and effective risk management.
Risk Assessment & Management
We apply structured risk management frameworks and workshops to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks associated with mine waste facilities. Our work supports risk-informed decision-making, governance, and the development of practical mitigation strategies throughout the facility lifecycle.
Co-Management Facilities
Designed and provided permitting support for integrated complex mine waste facilities combining waste rock and tailings storage within a single engineered landform. Experience includes collaborating on complex regulatory engagement and embedding operational knowledge into the design.
Independent Technical Reviews
We provide independent technical reviews for mine waste facilities at all stages of the project lifecycle. Our experienced practitioners assess design, operations, monitoring, and risk management practices to deliver objective recommendations that support informed decision-making.
