Success Cases

Conceptual and executive level closure plan

Context

Mine operations with the need to plan structured actions, in line with the best international practices, in order to guarantee the physical and chemical stability of the structures, enabling the future use and socio-environmental sustainability of the enterprise in the decommissioning and post-decommissioning phases.

Methodology

Decharacterization of geotechnical structures

Development of studies, design work and environmental monitoring related to the de-characterization of geotechnical structures in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

EMERGENCY ASSESSMENT AND RECOVERY PLAN

Development of a preventive plan focused on creating long-term recovery strategies, with the objective of structuring actions for a hypothetical breach event. The objective was to assess the social, environmental, and economic impacts that may arise from failure in tailings disposal structures, considering the extent of local damage and its medium- and long-term repercussions, and to engage stakeholders in defining and implementing recovery actions.

Speleological studies in general

Assessment of speleological potential, prospecting, area of influence studies, relevance studies, monitoring in mine operation areas, in order to assess potential impacts.
