What we do
Our
expertise
We provide engineering and consulting services for mining companies during all phases of projects from feasibility studies to mine site closure and reclamation.
Our services cover, tailing and waste management, water management, geotechnical engineering and infrastructure
TAILING AND MINE WASTE
We support mining operators throughout the duration of the mine in the construction of mine waste dumps and industrial tailings storage facilities. We implement the best techniques for economic optimization under the required safety conditions and respect for the environment.
