Waste Management

We carry out physical, chemical and mineralogical analyzes to identify the properties and behavior of the waste generated. This characterization is essential to select the best treatment strategy, define its dangerousness, assess reuse options and ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

We use sampling techniques, geochemical analyses and modelling to determine the presence, extent and concentration of contaminants in soil and aquifers. This assessment makes it possible to evaluate risks, design remediation strategies, and comply with administrative and environmental requirements.

We identify contaminating agents, exposure routes and potential receptors to evaluate the risks associated with waste and its interaction with the environment. Through qualitative and quantitative methodologies, we determine critical scenarios and propose effective measures to minimize impacts, aligned with the procedures for evaluating environmental conditions described in the mining waste management plans.

We design landfills adapted to the type of waste, complying with strict geotechnical, hydrogeological and environmental criteria. These projects include waterproofing, drainage, control systems, monitoring and closure plans, guaranteeing safe, stable structures aligned with regulatory obligations.

We develop waste dump projects that optimize waste disposal, guarantee the stability of the slopes and minimize environmental impacts. We consider geometries, materials, drainage, leachate control and environmental integration measures, as established in the restoration and mining waste management plans.

We design infrastructures for the safe storage of sludge and effluents, taking into account criteria such as structural stability, waterproofing, seepage control, drainage and piezometric monitoring. These projects follow technical and regulatory standards similar to those applied in mining facilities regulated by Royal Decree 975/2009.

We develop technical solutions for the design and construction of tanks for industrial or mining waste, guaranteeing their safety, durability and environmental control. We include analysis of capacity, geometry, cover materials, leachate systems and monitoring plans.

We plan and execute strategies to recover areas affected by industrial, extractive activities or spills. This includes geomorphological restoration, soil improvement, revegetation and environmental adaptation, with the aim of returning ecological functionality and minimizing residual impacts.

We evaluate alternatives to correct environmental impacts associated with waste management, proposing efficient and viable solutions from a technical and economic point of view. These measures include containment systems, drainage, encapsulation, improvements in operational processes and remediation actions.
