Mine Waste Engineering
As critical mine infrastructure, Mine Tailings and Rock Storage Facilities are among the largest man-made structures on Earth, counted among the few that can be seen from space.
Overview
Without careful consideration in design, construction, operation and closure, these facilities can pose a significant risk to life and the environment due to their large size, and being built almost entirely of mine overburden and processing by-products.
SLR’s experts understand that mine waste and related engineering services are truly a multi-disciplinary effort. Using integrated approaches, SLR focuses all of our engineering and scientific expertise in combining knowledge and methods to ensure mine infrastructure has a positive impact on the environment and surrounding communities.
