Landfills & Mines
Waste management and mining sites pose unique geotechnical and environmental challenges. We provide engineered solutions that prioritize safety, compliance, and environmental stewardship.
CHALLENGES
Common Challenges in Landfills & Mines
Landfills and mining sites present extreme ground and environmental pressures—settlement risks from heavy fills, groundwater contamination, strict regulator scrutiny, and the need for large-scale ground improvement.
1.
Settlement & Stability Under Heavy Loads
Large waste masses, stockpiles, and mining equipment can drive significant settlement and vibration. We size foundations, pavements, and ground improvement systems to control movement and protect critical operations.
2.
Leachate, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals threaten surrounding land, water, and worker safety. We assess, classify, and remediate soils with clear, regulator-aligned management plans.
Groundwater & Contamination Risks
3.
Strict Safety & Environmental Compliance
From HSE requirements to regulator approvals, compliance is non-negotiable. Our methods, permits, and documentation are designed to withstand audits and keep shutdowns and operations safe.
4.
Tailings dams, containment cells, and haul roads demand uniform performance. We design and implement wick drains, stone columns, rigid inclusions, and DMM to achieve reliable settlement control.
