Mining

Mine Developement

When developing a new mine, you’re often in a remote location with minimal site resources. Layfield can help you streamline this process, with the expertise to achieve key environmental controls for your remote mining sites, including safe and reliable containment options for mine waste. With us, you can safely and easily overcome your greatest geotechnical challenges in mine development.Strong haul roads built on poor soils provide vital access to the resources you need when you need them. You’ll be able to access your worksite with ease and avoid lengthy — and costly — project delays. With Layfield, you will find sustainable and maintenance-free solutions for your new mine development.

  • Gain Reliable Remote Site Access: Create green, cost-effective haul roads with the right materials to reinforce and stabilize your base.

  • Maximize Your Site Space: Increase your usable space while providing invaluable erosion control with Mechanical Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls.

  • Protect the Environment: Reduce your environmental impact by containing mine waste, heap leach, runoff, and process water.

Mine Operations & Processing

Keep your mine site safe, environmentally sound, and in working order to prevent long-term delays that could affect production.Responsible mining operations and processing ensure the maintenance of ponds and containment systems and the extension of roads, dams, and waste containment facilities.Your mine will require a range of materials and services to operate smoothly, including the scheduled maintenance of ponds and containments, extension of roads, dams, waste containment facilities, bird control solutions, and weather enclosure tarpaulin systems.

  • Maintain Long-term Operations: Proper maintenance of ponds and containment systems will contribute to better performance during operations.

  • Protect Your Surroundings: Barriers that protect from the elements via tarpaulins and contain liquid explosives with blast hole liners.

  • Prevent Silt Contamination: Collect and control silt to avoid contamination in sensitive areas and avoid expensive cleanup.

Mine Closure & Reclamation

After your mining operations are complete, a substantial reclamation effort is required. Several measures can be taken, such as treating and cleaning sediments and tailings and landfill capping to bury harmful elements.Layfield can assist in reclamation and return resources to a safe and natural state. With us, you can rest assured environmental protection is done efficiently and effectively.

  • Prevent Harmful Contamination: Separate your contaminated area from clean soils with soil remediation liners.

  • Reduce Cost and Risk: Reduce your cost of remediation. Choose technology that allows you to stay on-site such as waste rock capping.

  • Demonstrate Sustainability: Rehabilitate streams and channels to promote biodiversity and provide habitats for aquatic life.
