The New Calumet Mine in Québec, Canada, was a lead, gold, zinc and silver mine which was partially decommissioned in the 1970’s.

The remediation and redevelopment of this site included the management of a myriad of issues including threatened flora and fauna, major soil and groundwater contamination, mining leases and mine subsidence and industrial archaeology.

Posing hazards to public health and the environment, we removed toxic contaminants and transformed this old mining site into a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and clean energy investment.

We are providing long-term monitoring services to assess the impact of the Boggabri Coal Mine operations on the area’s biodiversity.

Protecting employee health in the work environment is not only socially responsible and the right thing to do but is also directly related to an organization’s ability to sustain a productive and engaged workforce. Best practice in occupational health necessitates a process of continuous improvement, a process to which one of our global gold mining clients was truly committed.

How can the industry plan for a future that may deliver higher temperatures, additional storms, extremes of rainfall and drought, rising sea levels and more wildfires?

Helping to protect and manage the long-term viability and biodiversity of the area.

Bats are an integral part of our ecosystems, and some bat species in Canada are currently listed as endangered due to population declines. In order to receive provincial or federal environmental authorizations, surveys to assess impacts on Species at Risk are critical for many projects. Compensation measures for bats may also be required and solutions to enhance or protect bat habitats can be integrated into restoration or mine reclamation sites.
