At Mecater Engineering, we support mining operators in managing tailings and mine waste with precision, safety, and long-term performance.
From concept to closure, we deliver fully integrated solutions tailored to each site — combining advanced engineering, field expertise, and strict compliance with international standards such as GISTM.
Our objective: reduce risk, optimize performance, and ensure sustainable operations at every stage of your project.
since 1997
We support early-stage project development with site selection, risk assessments, and permitting strategies to ensure regulatory compliance and a strong technical foundation from day one.
We design safe, efficient, and compliant tailings and waste facilities using advanced geotechnical analysis, stability modeling, and optimized engineering solutions.
We ensure high-quality execution through on-site supervision, QA/QC processes, and effective coordination, delivering projects on time, on budget, and to the highest standards.
We provide continuous monitoring and performance analysis to detect risks early, optimize operations, and maintain the safety and integrity of tailings facilities.
We develop sustainable closure strategies and long-term monitoring programs to secure site stability, meet environmental obligations, and protect your legacy.
Planning & Permitting
We support early-stage decision-making with reliable data and risk-informed strategies
- Site selection and permitting support
- Detailed site investigations and in-situ testing
