Mine drainage design
Mine drainage is vital for the smooth operations of any mining, especially in areas with high rainfall, such as tropical countries where special efforts have to be made to cope with storms and heavy rainfall. Effective mine drainage will contribute to reduced downtime and the improved economy of mine operation.
Our expert hydrogeologists have gained vast mine drainage experience in many countries around the world, especially in extreme rainfall areas such as India and Indonesia.
Mine drainage managementis also an environmental issue as concentrations of suspended solids and other possible harmful concentrations in the water have to be addressed.
