Models that balance the flow
Managing mine water is fundamentally time-dependent, and at Stantec we use an interactive, time-dependent approach. We assess your mine’s water footprint and the water variability expected over the life of your mine using a suite of modeling platforms. Through numerical modeling, we can replicate and calibrate to your surface water and groundwater systems. A mine water management system generates confidence that the water is managed in a responsible, sustainable, and transparent way.
Dynamic mine water management requires interactive models
Through numerical modeling, we can replicate and calibrate to your surface water and groundwater systems. We conduct modeling to address the variability of water chemistry over time. These results go into a site-wide water balance model like GoldSim™ to predict water quantity and quality, incorporating natural uncertainty and event-driven risks. These models are used to determine the potential variability in water volume and quality over the life of your mine. The result? Efficient and cost-effective mine water management solutions.Water balance and quality
Our water balance and quality modeling services include all kinds of modeling: hydrologic, groundwater contaminant fate and transport, water balance, stochastic, water quality integrated groundwater/surface water and water quality. We are known for climate change effects analysis, geochemical characterization for waste rock, ore, and tailings as well as pit lake geochemical modeling.Danny Bay, Minerals & Metals Sector Leader, Latin America
