MINING
AltiGenis offers comprehensive expertise in mining engineering, infrastructure management, hydrogeology, and mine site restoration, covering the entire project lifecycle from operation to closure.Our services are structured around three main areas: the management of mining infrastructure, including the design and monitoring of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) and critical structures; water management, which ensures the control, monitoring, and treatment of mine water to minimize environmental impacts; and mine closure and site rehabilitation, with progressive reclamation strategies, tailings management, and material valorization. By relying on international best practices and engineering solutions tailored to the specific challenges of each site, AltiGenis supports its clients with a sustainable, safe, and regulation-compliant approach.
AltiGenis offers comprehensive expertise in the design, management, and monitoring of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) and associated infrastructure. Our services are aligned with international standards, including the GISTM and ICOLD guidelines, ensuring safe, compliant, and sustainable management of these structures. By integrating best practices in geotechnical, hydraulic, and environmental engineering, AltiGenis supports its clients at every stage of the mining infrastructure lifecycle, ensuring technical performance and effective risk management.

AltiGenis provides comprehensive expertise in the development, planning, and implementation of mine site rehabilitation projects, whether for active or closed sites. This includes the inventory and characterization of all components to be restored, the assessment of available on-site materials, and the development of potential rehabilitation scenarios. Rehabilitation activities may include revegetation, soil stabilization, and ecosystem management, all supported by a post-restoration monitoring program. Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) remains one of the most critical challenges facing the mining industry, with AMD-generating sites incurring management costs in the millions of dollars. AltiGenis offers integrated management solutions for overburden dumps, waste rock, and concentrator tailings, aimed at ensuring both physical and geochemical stability — a fundamental requirement for sustainable mining operations.
- Mine closure and rehabilitation planning and engineering
- Site rehabilitation and revegetation
- Geochemical behavior prediction of mine waste
- Post-closure monitoring and environmental surveillance
AltiGenis supports mining operators in the management and optimization of extraction operations by integrating drilling, blasting, and ventilation solutions tailored to the specific conditions of each mining site. Our services aim to enhance process efficiency, ensure worker safety, and minimize the environmental impact of mining activities.
