Industrial and Mining Reclamation

Industrial reclamation can provide significant challenges with regards to soil conditions, soil erosion, establishment of vegetation, and rehabilitation of watercourses to enhance fish & wildlife habitat. Addressing these issues should be part of a comprehensive erosion control and re-vegetation / plan for both industrial reclamation or mining reclamation.

A soil bioengineering approach, in combination with conventional engineering, can provide the tools needed to address these various site conditions. Terra Erosion Control has been involved in pipeline right-of-way reclamation projects, both in north and south America, including implementing work in right-of-way crossings or adjacent to riparian areas. We have successfully prescribed and implemented the rehabilitation of a re-constructed waterway on an overburden mining dump in the oil sands region of northern Alberta . We have also completed large projects on contaminated industrial sites in southern British Columbia where we both developed and implemented the treatments.
