MINE CLOSURE WSP is focused on mine closure. With an unmatched portfolio of project experience spanning decades, we bring to mine closure fully formed and deeply experienced teams that recognize mine closure as a critical stage in the mine life cycle; one that requires a fully integrated and multidisciplinary approach that is tailored to the needs of each site. WSP recognizes mine closure as a specific service area, one with designated technical leads, and defined internal communication pathways to ensure that our clients can connect to the right professionals for the specific needs of their sites. We have a global mine closure leadership team and a fully networked community of over 550 professionals who regularly share best practices in mine closure. Our mine closure teams ensure that we can provide world-class services to our clients on every aspect of mine closure, from acid rock drainage prevention and water treatment to addressing stability issues, cost estimating, addressing social considerations, and planning demolition. We take pride in our dedication to mine closure being more than a theoretical desktop exercise. We build what we design, with a growing portfolio of reclaimed sites. Importantly, we are focused on transferring the lessons learned from those construction projects to our new studies and designs, using mechanisms that range from internal webinars, to constructability reviews. Our construction team is also a key component of our approach to estimating closure costs and grounding our estimates in real world experience.
