URS' mining experience covers energy fuels, such as coal, oil sands and uranium; base and precious metals, including copper, gold and nickel; and industrial minerals, including bauxite, gypsum, phosphate and potash.
With more than a century of experience in all aspects of the discovery, development, operation and closure of mining projects around the world, we are one of the few global companies offering wholly integrated services spanning the full project lifecycle for the mining industry. This includes feasibility, environmental, regulatory and social studies; project evaluation and planning; engineering, procurement and construction management; engineering for mine infrastructure; mining operations; and closure, reclamation and rehabilitation.
URS is one of a small number of companies providing mining operations and maintenance services. We also provide environmental management, strategic planning, tailings and waste management, water resources management and community consultation services, and we offer expertise in geotechnical and mining engineering and mining-related risk management.
Our experts understand the full range of issues facing the industry, and offer solutions that are consistently safe, environmentally sound, socially responsive and both technically and economically feasible to maximise financial, environmental and social sustainability for our clients throughout a mine’s lifecycle.
