The mining industry is constantly evolving and adapting in response to societal needs and advances in technology. For decades, we have built a leading position in the research, design, and implementation of tailings and water management and heap leach systems, in addition to geotechnical design for open pit and underground mine developments. We provide specialized services at all project stages, from early exploration, through engineering and environmental studies and on to construction, operations, and closure.

The research, design and implementation of pioneering solutions to mining waste management (tailings) and heap leach systems, as well as specialist geotechnical investigations for mine developments, have positioned our company as the foremost leader in these fields. Projects include gold, platinum, nickel, phosphates, chrome, fluorspar, copper, cobalt, manganese, zinc, uranium, coal, diamond, graphite, gypsum, ash and heavy mineral sands mines. As a result, members of the company have extensive capabilities and experience in most aspects of mine infrastructure development and can therefore offer a full spectrum of services. For all these reasons, Knight Piésold is widely known for its innovative solutions and efficient application of technology.
