Features Projects

	Antamina Mine, Peru Downdrains for 6km-Long Waste Dump Developed state-of-the-art downdrains for high seismic region located at 14,000 feet above sea level. Working with manufacturer to patent and develop new piping components. Savings amounted to Tens of Millions in Capital and Operating Costs.
	Site-Wide Mine Water Balance Silver Bell Mine, Southeastern Arizona Developed dynamic water balance for risk assessment and facility sizing. Mapping of site-wide water and acid flows. Historical and statistical rainfall evaluations. Analyzed seepage, runoff, ore absorption and evaporation.
	Storm Water Containment Pond Confidential Mine Site, Southeastern Arizona 16.5-Acre HDPE-Lined Pond; 46 Acre-Foot Storage Capacity Geotechnical investigations; 1,000 LF, 20-Foot-High Embankment Concrete Spillway Drop Structure; 11,500 LF, 1,000 GPM Discharge Pipeline.
	Hydrology/Hydraulics Evaluations and Design Confidential Mine Site, Southeastern Arizona Hydrologic evaluation of watersheds to determine design peak flows and volumes. Hydraulic modeling to design culverts, retention ponds, spillways, drain pipes and energy dissipators. Site-wide water balances; rainfall and storm analyses.
