Mining Industry Services 

CES provides its mining industry clients with all the water quality protection services the mining industry requires. Mining operations require reliable solutions for meeting its objectives of minimizing mining’s footprint on the environment while remaining profitable. A critical area of environmental concern for most mining operations is water quality protection.

Mining operations are temporal in nature with distinct development, operational, closure and post-closure phases. The obvious objective of any mining operation is to maximize the operational phase and shorten all other phases. The length of the operational phase is defined by the size and value of the mineral resource and the cost to extract and process it. Operations can have one or more temporary closures due to periods of unfavorable economics.

CES brings our clients a broader and often more unique perspective to solving environmental problems than traditional engineering consulting firms can. Our tightly integrated soils, geochemical, geological and engineering staff have excelled by offering solutions that work with the natural conditions at our clients’ facilities rather than trying to design and build more costly infrastructure to overcome the existing conditions.
