| MISSION: |
Review, evaluate, and recommend actions to be taken in connection with the handling and
disposal of mine waste and the construction of refuse piles, waste dams, tailing
embankments, and impoundments in the coal and metal/nonmetal mining industries.
Develop solutions to geotechnical engineering problems such as underground flooding,
oil, natural gas, radioactive and industry waste storage, highwall and open pit slope
stability, and for mine construction including foundations, structures, shaft sinking, and
tunneling.
Conduct on-site field investigations, specialized field and laboratory testing,
engineering design and plan reviews, research contract review, and in-depth engineering
evaluations requiring expertise in hydrology, soil and rock mechanics, and structural
engineering.
