Over decades, many industrial facilities have grown to considerable size. Growth introduced efficiencies and economies of scale. Growth was good when mass production was the norm. But with markets becoming more specialized, production runs becoming smaller and products becoming more personalized, big may no longer be beautiful. That is where ARCADIS can help. You can call on ARCADIS to assist you in reshuffling or redesigning your industrial site. Changing site designs, arranging permits, taking care of the environmental legacy which may exist, ARCADIS can do it all. In an integrated package or on a project-by-project basis.
With a wealth of experience in working with industrial clients large and small, we know what it takes when it comes to redeveloping a site. Using our expertise we can help introduce new efficiencies to allow you to better handle your goods. We are driven by your bottom line.
Another important area of specialized services provided by ARCADIS is the design of mining, the characterization and geotechnical design of open pits and underground mines, the design of active and passive fortifications, the design of strategies for open pit stabilization, the design of excavations in general, as well as the definition of geotechnical monitoring systems. These services are provided using internationally accepted tools and methodologies, including the most modern empirical, analytical and semi-analytical formulations and numerical modeling.
ARCADIS is a world leader in this area, having designed and supervised the construction of highly complex tailings deposits, most of them in earthquake prone zones. In this area, the firm has developed projects for the mining industry that include: site selection studies; basic geotechnical, hydrogeological, geological, hydrological and topographical studies; baseline and environmental impact studies; environmental permits; basic and detailed engineering designs; design of closure and the supervision of construction of the works; assistance in the operation of the deposits and even the operation of the tailings deposits themselves Most of these projects have also included the design of water recovery systems, river diversion works, safety spillways, and closure works.
