We provide independent, impartial advice that stands up to scrutiny. Through end-to-end groundwater service expertise and a depth of experience, we help you navigate the legislation and meet your regulatory requirements.
We’ve helped clients across underground, opencut, metalliferous, coal, quarries and sand operations. Our clients value a trusted relationship with their groundwater partner: one in which they know they can rely on the data and be assured everything is accurate, compliant and within budget.
We’re proud of our track record in mining and our reputation for robust and high-quality investigations and reports. As your partner, we work closely with you to ensure you’re able to fulfil your extensive environmental regulatory conditions and secure your approvals.
Crucially, we can support you on community engagement and stakeholder communication. We decipher the science and ensure our advice is easily understood and clearly shows why it adds value.
At AGE, we have extensive experience delivering groundwater impact assessments. We ensure regulatory requirements and industry standards are adhered to, so you can secure the approvals you need.
While we have experience conducting studies in major mining regions within Australia, we have also successfully carried out operations in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and South-East Asian countries.
When planning greenfield projects and mine modifications, our team understands the need to adequately characterise the risks imposed on groundwater resources.
Our experts can help with groundwater-related operational issues that can present operational and safety challenges, such as inrushes, high seepage rates, high pore pressures or wet blasting.
We also have extensive experience in helping operators meet their regulatory conditions, including the development of monitoring plans and programs, fieldwork for data collection, groundwater model updates and routine reporting.
We understand that the closure of mines can present a significant challenge for your business. The water issues cross disciplines and require a multi-disciplinary team that can make reliable predictions for decades or centuries into the future.
At AGE, we help take the worry and stress out of the process, offering you an end-to-end groundwater solution. We also collaborate with ecologists, geochemists, surface water engineers and other key specialists to overcome these challenges.
Along with helping you engage with key stakeholders during the process, we also support you through complicated and evolving legislation, such as the Progressive Rehabilitation and Closure (PRC) Plan.
