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.

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.

Excess wastewater at a gold mine in Guerrero, Mexico pushed storage areas toward capacity limits, increased the likelihood of environmental incidents, and placed strain on safe daily operations.

Without effective water control, the tailings dam faced escalating pressure that could undermine safe operations and disrupt long-term planning at a Western Australia nickel mine.
