Mining operations can vary substantially between sites, and have the potential to impact the surrounding environment in many ways. The Westbay System is an ideal technology for monitoring a wide variety of these impacts, including site characterization for environmental impact assessment, waste piles, monitoring of leach operations, closure analyses, and tailings and process water ...

For over twenty years, BioSolve Pinkwater has been used for Surfactant Enhanced Remediation (SER) to mobilize and solubilize residual NAPL[i], facilitating its recovery and disposal. Depending on soil and plume characteristics, Pinkwater solution can reach contaminated zones through deep injection wells or be gravity fed from surface level injection galleries. After desorbing residual NAPL from soil surfaces on contact, Pinkwater then solubilizes the hydrocarbons in an aqueous emulsion, enabling extraction at down ...

Fault zones: Geological faults are related to an increase in weathering and loosening up of the surrounding rock, which causes an increase in hydraulic routing. This lowers the rigidity of the rock and increases the risk for constructing new buildings. In the event of an earthquake, even dislocations are possible along the fault. Seismic refraction measurements enable the mapping of seismic velocities and related material properties. The lateral variations of these velocities then indicate the location of fault ...
