Keller's geotechnical construction techniques help solve problems faced by operational, decommissioned, and planned mines and quarries.
Sector challenges we can solve
Mine owners face a myriad of subsurface challenges. The challenges occur in developing mines, production in existing mines, and mine tailings and waste disposal and containment. Keller provides comprehensive solutions to mine operators' full range of subsurface challenges.
Keller provides the broadest range of geotechnical construction solutions for problems faced by the mining industry. We deliver everything from remediation work to ground improvement for new facilities. Our cost-effective design-build solutions range from environmental groundwater cutoff and dewatering to ground freezing for mine shaft access to earth retention for slope stability. We can mobilize quickly to your site to stabilize distressed infrastructure, bringing your operations back online. Our patented vertical drainage system for heap leach piles prevents slope failure and allows subsequent percolation to reach deeper into the pile for an increased yield.
We strive to combine our experience to provide innovative geotechnical solutions safely. Keller’s “Think Safe” program was implemented over ten years ago to develop and reinforce our safety culture to match or exceed the safety program of our clients. We have outstanding performance and customer satisfaction on technically challenging mine projects. Our experienced Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)-certified mine crews and specialized equipment have completed numerous complex underground and surface mining and reclamation projects for large and small mining companies, federal government agencies, and state mine reclamation programs.
Keller crews have been working in a variety of mines throughout the world for well over 50 years. This unparalleled experience allows us to provide our mine clients with a tailored solution based on previous successful projects. Keller has completed mining projects throughout North South and Central America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. We combine detailed local knowledge with real-world experience to ensure that no question goes unanswered, no problem goes unsolved, and no job goes unfinished.
