Missouri cobalt mine - case study

A cobalt operation in Missouri prepared to restart production while confronting rising stored water that threatened safe access, regulatory compliance and the reopening timeline. Without rapid reduction, the site risked delayed commissioning, constrained operating space and escalating environmental exposure.

Montana power station - case study

Montana’s harsh winters leave the power station with only a narrow window to control rising brine wastewater, and storage levels were already approaching critical thresholds as freezing conditions neared. Without timely reduction, the site faced overtopping risk, regulatory exposure, increased safety hazards for onsite teams and a winter-long loss of operational flexibility.

Nunavut water treatment facility - case study

A facility accessible only by air in the Nunavut Territory of Canada needed a reliable way to manage rising water volumes across its sub-Arctic operations. Limited storage capacity for brine, combined with excess water generated by the site’s reverse osmosis plant, created immediate pressure on water balance control.

QLD waste processing - case study

A waste processing facility in Queensland faced rising wastewater and leachate volumes that intensified under the region’s high humidity, frequent rainfall and strict environmental controls. Without reliable reduction, the site risked overflow, regulatory breaches and escalating storage pressure during peak wet-season conditions.

NSW food processing - case study

A food processing facility in New South Wales faced rising wastewater volumes that threatened to disrupt production, strain onsite storage and complicate compliance in a tightly regulated sector. Without controlled reduction, the site risked operational bottlenecks and increased disposal pressure during peak processing periods.

NSW landfill leachate management - case study

Municipal landfills in New South Wales operate under tight environmental controls and must manage leachate volumes that rise quickly during wet periods. At this site, sustained rainfall and limited storage capacity pushed leachate levels toward critical thresholds, creating risks of overflow, regulatory non-compliance and operational disruption.

QLD hydro water power plant - case study

A former gold mine pit in Queensland, Australia held excess water that prevented a renewable energy provider from safely progressing its pumped-hydro development. The project relied on clear access to underground workings, yet rising pit levels restricted entry, constrained construction sequencing and delayed the transition of the site into a functional energy-storage asset

QLD coal-fired power plant - case study.

Coal ash ponds at a Queensland power generation facility were accumulating water faster than the site could safely manage, driven by runoff, process water and limited storage flexibility. As levels continued to rise, the ponds approached thresholds that threatened embankment integrity, regulatory compliance and day-to-day operational reliability.

Saudi Arabia industrial waste management - case study

Multiple landfill sites in Saudi Arabia were experiencing rising leachate volumes that exceeded available storage and strained compliance obligations across the network. With inflows driven by waste composition, climate and operational activity, the operator struggled to maintain safe levels, creating escalating environmental risk and narrowing day-to-day operating flexibility.

NT alumina refinery - case study

Rainfall, runoff and process water can accumulate faster than facilities managing large red-mud ponds can safely store or redirect. At this refinery, rising levels began to compromise embankment integrity and day-to-day operational safety, pushing the site toward compliance risk and potential production limits.

WA alumina refinery - case study

Residue areas at a Western Australia alumina refinery began to accumulate water faster than the site could safely manage, narrowing operating margins and increasing pressure on containment structures. As levels continued to rise, the refinery faced mounting production risk and closer regulatory scrutiny, with uncontrolled accumulation threatening both day-to-day continuity and long-term environmental compliance.
