  • Integrated water balance and water quality modelling (e.g., GoldSimTM)
  • Speciation and reaction modelling (e.g., PHREEQC)
  • Contaminant transport modelling and seepage studies (e.g., MODFLOWTM, GeoStudio)
  • Mine planning support to manage potentially acid-generating (PAG) materials and other threats to water quality
  • Regulatory submissions and permitting

Our environmental geochemistry and water quality management experts bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every project, ensuring that client objectives are met effectively and efficiently. By identifying environmental risks early in the project lifecycle and developing proactive measures to address and mitigate such risks, we can help clients avoid costly and time-consuming efforts required to address adverse environmental impacts. Ultimately, we support our clients in their efforts to operate successfully, sustainably, and responsibly.

A strong environmental record is a very tangible way of illustrating a commitment to responsible and sustainable operations, and this helps to build trust with stakeholders, such as regulatory agencies, local communities, and investors. In many respects, effective environmental stewardship is not only a responsibility, but also a strategic advantage.
