MINING

MINING ENGINEERING NEEDS A TECHNICAL AND SKILLED TEAM

The mining industry presents many opportunities, but also some obstacles. Our future relies on the increased source of materials we already depend on, so we need to depend on responsible mining practices that will protect the public, not only today but in the future. Mining engineering requires a team that is extremely technical and skilled in strategy for a potentially hostile landscape. Our mining clientele base includes coal companies, hard rock quarries, financial institutions, attorneys, government, and others. We have completed more than 5,000 mining projects for the mining and mineral industry across the US & Canada.

Failures in the mining industry can happen for many reasons, and there is always a risk in developing a mine, but there’s a lot that’s preventable. One of the essential items overlooked is the geology of the proposed site. Mining engineers are experts at assessing the viability of a new site and assist with the mine’s design and structure.

It’s our job to provide guidance and support for project development and to create customized solutions that will help meet your bottom line.
