Risk Evaluation & Loss Mitigation
Providing risk evaluations and loss mitigation for over 13 years.
We research and assess the extent and scope of documented mines and coal seams.
Our professionals will inspect a project site or corridor reviewing mining impacts such as subsidence features, mine shafts, unnatural terrain, landslides and discolored streams.
Mine Site Monitoring
There's a need to monitor the different stages and that's where NewBridge comes in.
Initially, there's the need to monitor environmental parameters before any operations begin to determine an environmental baseline. Once the baseline is established and the mine is operating, we expertly monitor all environmental parameters.
When the mining operations have been completed, there is the need to rehabilitate the mine site, restore the area to its original condition and habitation, and that's when we monitor for a period of years to make sure there has been no long term change to the environment as a result of the mining operations.
