Geotechnical Engineering and Tailings Management

Geotechnical engineering is fundamental to the safe and responsible development of mining projects. From open pit slopes and tailings storage facilities to mine rock stockpiles and closure landforms, geotechnical performance supports operational continuity, effective resource recovery, environmental performance, post-mining land use outcomes, regulatory compliance, and long-term liability management.

Our geotechnical team supports mining projects throughout the asset lifecycle, from material characterization and design to field assessment, risk management, and performance monitoring. Working closely with other disciplines such as hydrology, geochemistry, and mine planning, we develop integrated solutions that reduce uncertainty, manage risk, and support the safe, stable, and sustainable performance of tailings and mine facilities from design through to post-closure.
