MINE ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES WSP provides clients with mining-specific environmental services throughout the entire mining life cycle, from exploration and pre-feasibility and feasibility, through to operation, decommissioning and closure. Since no two mining projects are the same, we tailor our environmental services to the current stage of your mining project in order to meet your immediate and future needs.

Mining companies are adjusting to changes and are operating in a more sustainable manner, taking the biophysical, social and economic environments into consideration. Reputable mining companies are proactively contributing to the societies and communities in which they operate and report in accordance with global best practice. Our environmental and sustainability teams work with our clients, whether on an existing mine or new mine, to assist in meeting both societal and company environmental and sustainability goals. Our environmental services span the full spectrum including up-front investigations (biological, cultural, social and physical resources), development of plans of operations, impact analysis (Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)/National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance ), permitting, resources characterization (water quality, air quality, geochemistry), operational compliance, and closure and reclamation.

The mining industry has been transformed by society’s anticipation that mining operations meet more rigorous environmental standards. New, more demanding regulations have been adopted, aiming to protect the environment and resolve complex social issues. With these changing attitudes and regulations, we understand the importance of incorporating environmental data throughout the mine life cycle. Our environmental team works with our clients and engineering disciplines (mine design, geotechnical, civil, mechanical process) to address and incorporate environmental aspects and concerns into mine design, operating plans, and closure plans.
