Metals and mining companies face environmental challenges at all stages of the mining process, from exploration, through ore extraction and processing, and finally during the remediation and closure of their sites. In addition to managing the complexity of the mining lifecycle, the industry is also faced with changes in regulations, fluctuations in commodity prices, unpredictable political environments, industrial demand, and economic uncertainty.

ARCADIS helps clients to achieve operational balance by leveraging our geochemical, environmental and engineering expertise to drive down costs over the course of the mining life cycle. We apply geochemistry to mineralogy to develop a conceptual model for every phase of a project so that we can better understand the environmental and human health implications that must be managed during the mineral extraction and closure processes.

This understanding, combined with our advances in mining and environmental technologies, enables ARCADIS to anticipate, predict and plan for potential operational challenges and apply sustainable engineering solutions that minimize cost over the long run.
