We use CORMIX™, Visual Plumes, and other tools to evaluate the mixing and behavior of chemical and thermal plumes, ensuring compliance with discharge permits and regulatory standards.

Our experts apply 1-, 2-, and 3-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality models, including GoldSim™, to simulate mixing regimes in lakes, reservoirs, and pit lakes, supporting operational and closure planning.

We conduct assimilative capacity assessments and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) determinations to evaluate how much effluent a system can safely receive without exceeding water quality objectives.

We apply state-of-the-art sediment transport models to assess sedimentation, transport, and erosion, evaluating potential zones of influence and effects on aquatic ecosystems.

Our team designs and implements field investigations – such as limnology, hydrodynamics, water quality, and bathymetric surveys – to calibrate models and ensure accurate, site-specific simulations.

By combining physical and chemical modeling with biological field studies (e.g., periphyton, invertebrate, and fish communities), we provide a holistic evaluation of potential effects on aquatic life, including magnitude, frequency, and duration.
