- Geotechnical investigations, slope-stability analysis, seepage modelling, dam design, and reviews
- Environmental studies and flow-monitoring system calibration at active and decommissioned sites
- Surface water monitoring and management, including collection, treatment, settling, sampling, and controlled release in accordance with compliance criteria
