Mine Dewatering

 

Ensuring long-term mine sustainability depends on the continuous management of water resources, including measures to maintain dry operating conditions. While water plays a critical role in mining operations, excessive water can lead to adverse site conditions, disrupting ore production and compromising safety. Our team can work closely with mine geologists to design adaptable dewatering systems that evolve with the mine’s lifecycle. Each system is precisely engineered to remove the necessary volume of water, informed by detailed groundwater flow analysis and the development of tailored water budgets.

A selection of our offered services:

  • Hydrogeological and geotechnical characterization
  • Evaluation of the aquifer’s hydraulic properties
  • Well field planning and design
  • Monitoring the installation of wells and deployment of instrumentation
  • Data acquisition, analysis and management
  • Predictive modelling to optimize mine drainage systems
  • Aquifer recovery modelling and study
  • Long-term monitoring and compliance reporting

Operational Water Balance

 

In the mining industry, effective water management is essential for improving operational efficiency, enhancing sustainability, and ensuring long-term resilience. At GST, we are committed to helping mining operations overcome their water management challenges. Our innovative solutions not only improve efficiency and resource utilisation but also support sustainability and ESG performance, ensuring long-term resilience.

Visual Water Balance has a user-friendly interface, which will enable you to reduce costs and optimize the use of water, also providing opportunities to reuse this resource and which will support you in making decisions quickly and safely.

Do in hours what currently takes days!

Have you ever imagined having full control of your water balance in a simple and dynamic way, while saving money and optimizing your decision-making process? Managing water flows across a mine—from collection to discharge—can be complex and challenging. Visual Water Balance (VWB), a truly dynamic software solution that enables users to autonomously create and manage their water balance. With VWB, mine managers gain access to spatial visualisations of water circuits and key performance indicators, empowering them to optimise water use, reduce costs, and ensure compliance more effectively.

Take control of your water sources, usage, storage, and discharge in a single, integrated platform. Are you interested in seeing Visual Water Balance in action?  Book a free live demo today!

Environmental Data Management

 

Environmental data management plays a critical role in supporting modelling projects and informed decision-making in water resource management. By efficiently organising and integrating large datasets — such as hydrological, hydrogeological, and geochemical information — data management systems provide the foundation for accurate models that simulate groundwater flow, contaminant transport, and water balance scenarios. These models, in turn, allow for the prediction of environmental impacts, optimisation of water resource use, and development of sustainable management strategies. Effective data management ensures that all relevant variables are considered, leading to more reliable outcomes and better decision-making for water resource sustainability.
