Mine Closure - helping you manage closure risk

Astron assists clients to develop Mine Closure Plans that are approved by the regulatory authorities and are practical, achievable, cost-effective and focussed on site specific closure risks. We have a team of technical specialists who have developed and implemented closure plans compliant with Western Australian regulatory requirements for large scale (>20 years) as well as short mine life operations (<3 years).

We have extensive experience working on mine sites, which means we understand the risks and costs associated with planning for and implementing rehabilitation and closure of mine sites in the Australian regulatory framework and are aligned with client objectives. When combined with our hands on experience with implementing rehabilitation programs, we can successfully guide clients through all stages of the mine closure process.
