Engineering

Solum recognizes geotechnical engineering as a key aspect of the mining operations providing soil engineering support to achieve mine production objectives and identify opportunities and risks to improve the technical aspects of the mine design.

• Site selection and characterization
• Field geotechnical investigations
• Erosion and sediment control
• Engineering design and analysis: slope stability, infiltration, seepage, settling
• Laboratory tests
• Tailings storage facilities, heap leach pads, and water dam design
