Mine Closure & Rehabilitation

Significant expertise in mine closure planning and understanding the complexities impacting successful rehabilitation and closure.

We have significant expertise in mine closure planning and understanding the complexities that may impact successful rehabilitation and closure.

Each time we develop a Mine Closure Plan we evaluate:

Relevant baseline data, studies and investigations with respect to building a solid dataset of mine closure knowledge.
Conditions and commitments (regulatory and to stakeholders) with respect to mine closure.
The impact of closing the mine with respect to environmental values and to the community.
Stakeholder expectations and demographics.

From this information we develop:

Practical mine closure objectives, completion criteria and post closure land use aspects.
Landform designs that aim to achieve stability, sustainability and positive impacts. We provide details like cover, aspect, slope, drainage and revegetation design specification.
A risk assessment process and mitigation program.
Closure implementation schedules including quality assurance tools and task register.
A closure engagement process suited to the project and its stakeholders.
A monitoring program that quantifies the progress of rehabilitation and relinquishment.
