As a firm, we offer a breadth of services. In the mining sector our focus includes source evaluation, mine permitting, geotechnical engineering, tailings and mine waste engineering, water resource management, water treatment and complementary treatability testing, closure and reclamation, and corporate social responsibility/environmental social governance. Our regional focus is on environmental services including geochemistry characterization and modelling, site-wide water quality and water balance models, innovative water treatment and source control solutions, treatability and leachate testing (through our in-house laboratory SiREM), integrated closure planning and mine closure requirements.

In the industrial sector, we focus on developing and implementing leading edge remedial solutions for soil and groundwater impacted sites. We collaborate with industry and academia to ensure that our clients get the best value possible. Petroleum, chlorinated solvent, nitrate, pesticide, fertilizers, metals, and emerging contaminants such as fluorinated organics are driving our practice.
