Using analytical and numerical groundwater models, we assess:

• Groundwater–surface water interactions
• Mine water balance and inflow predictions
• Water quality modeling for environmental assessments
• Contaminant transport and tailings seepage evaluation

We also support environmental permitting with robust defensibility in regulatory review.

We design and optimize:

• Dewatering systems for open pit and underground mines
• Depressurization systems to control pore water pressure and slope stability
• Tailings facility seepage mitigation and underdrain design
• Seepage interception trenches, wells, and hydraulic barriers

These systems are calibrated with field data to ensure long-term performance and minimize risk.

Our hydrogeological team supports:

• Permits to take water (PTTW) applications
• Reclamation water balance modeling
• Groundwater management plan reviews and optimizations
• Hydrogeological input to mine closure and reclamation plans
• Evaluations of climate change and extreme weather impacts on aquifers

We ensure compliance with jurisdictional requirements and long-term resilience planning.

We install and monitor systems to track groundwater conditions, including:

• Groundwater levels, pore water pressures, and seepage flows
• Remediation system performance
• Pre- and post-disturbance monitoring programs
• Advanced visualization using platforms like Cambio Earth for regulatory reporting and internal decision-making
