Closure

Rehabilitation of disturbed land is a requirement of projects in Australia and internationally. Successful rehabilitation generally requires early planning to ensure goals are achieved in a cost effective manner. Often rehabilitation will commence progressively, in advance of mine closure, to minimise post-production costs. AARC’s unique set of technical capabilities includes soil scientists and ecologists with experience in rehabilitation design, maintenance, and monitoring. AARC can work with your site team to assist with planning and to maximize the likelihood of long term rehabilitation success.
