Hydrogeology
We provide comprehensive hydrogeologic analysis to support informed decision-making. Our team evaluates groundwater systems through field investigations, data interpretation, conceptual model development, and groundwater modeling to address complex environmental and mining challenges related to groundwater and water management.
Surface Water
We provide comprehensive surface water engineering services to the mining industry, supporting projects from early studies through operations and closure. Our approach integrates hydrology, hydraulics, sediment management, and water balance modeling to deliver practical and reliable solutions that address the full mine water cycle.
Our team specializes in developing holistic surface water management strategies that consider watershed processes, operational water demands, regulatory requirements, and long-term sustainability. By combining advanced numerical modeling, field data collection, and practical engineering design, we help mining operations effectively manage water quantity, sediment transport, and stormwater related risks.
Groundwater Modeling
We develop defensible groundwater models to evaluate system behavior, support engineering designs, predict potential impacts, and support regulatory and operational decisions. Our modeling approach is grounded in site-specific data and tailored to each project’s objectives. We do groundwater flow modeling, vadose zone modeling, and contaminant fate and transport modeling. We use a variety of analytical and numerical modeling codes (e.g., MODFLOW, FEFLOW) and pre-and-post processing packages for model input and output (e.g., Groundwater Vistas, geological modeling software such as Leapfrog) depending on project needs.
Field Characterization
From data collection to interpretation, our field characterization services provide the foundation for successful projects. We provide a full spectrum of hydrogeological field support services, including: drilling oversight, monitoring well and piezometer installation, aquifer hydraulic testing, groundwater sampling, and other services related to site investigations in order to accurately define subsurface hydrogeological conditions.
Mine Water Management
We support all phases of mine water management, from planning and operations to closure. Our solutions address dewatering and depressurization, water supply, water quality, and regulatory compliance while balancing operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Water Balance Modeling
Our water balance modeling services provide a system-wide understanding of water movement across mining and environmental settings. We develop integrated models that evaluate inflows, outflows, and storage to support informed decision-making throughout the life of a project.
These tools help clients optimize water use, manage operational and environmental risk, and plan for both short- and long-term conditions. Our models are built using site-specific data and are designed to be practical, adaptable, and aligned with operational needs.
Environmental Services
We provide environmental support services across a wide range of projects, combining technical expertise with practical solutions. From baseline assessments and permitting support to post-closure planning and monitoring, our work helps clients navigate regulatory requirements while implementing sustainable and responsible practices.
Contaminated Sites
Our team assesses and manages contaminated sites through investigation, data analysis, remedial alternatives development, modeling, and alternatives evaluation to select the best remediation option. We focus on understanding contaminant behavior and developing effective strategies for groundwater remediation to protect human health and the environment, based on client input and needs.
