GeoScience Associates uses a multi-faceted approach to mining project groundwater assessments.
During scoping study processes, through detailed feasibility assessments, GeoScience experts integrate the latest software and hardware technological advances to provide timely data analysis. Our approach includes review of the exploration drilling program to obtain information relevant to management of the project. Geologic information collected during exploration drilling reduces environmental drilling costs facilitating improved management of water supply, pit dewatering and infiltration basin infrastructure. Services provided by GeoScience Associates include:
- Mine permitting, planning documents and EIS support
- Site-wide groundwater quality and water level baseline monitoring
- Surface water and groundwater management solutions
- Conceptual groundwater modeling
- Numerical modeling of groundwater drawdown and potential for off-site impacts
- Groundwater database development for efficient information storage and retrieval
- Aquifer protection planning
- Water supply development
- Dewatering system design and support
- Mine closure planning
