Mine Reclamation & Closure
We combine international experience with all aspects of mining, specialist technical expertise and knowledge of local statutory requirements to identify and implement cost-effective closure solutions. We work closely with clients to ensure that our projects are customized to meet their closure objectives.
SRK Consulting uses a top down approach to mine closure and reclamation projects:
- Possible reclamation/closure solutions are identified
- The data required to evaluate the most promising alternatives are determined
- Investigations, reviews and studies to fill critical data gaps are scoped and initiated
- As data become available, the alternatives are ranked based on effectiveness, economics, residual risk, and any other criteria specified by our client
- Through discussion with our client, a preferred solution is selected
- Engineering and procurement documentation are prepared for the preferred solution
- SRK also provides construction supervision and management for many closure activities
