Surface water
management & design
At Ukwazi, we offer expert surface water management and design services tailored to meet the environmental and operational needs of the mining industry.
The responsible management of surface water is focused on keeping clean water clean and the separation and appropriate management of dirty or contaminated water. Engineering designs for the associated infrastructure to achieve this, such as pollution control dams and the associated piping are well regulated and form part of the regulatory requirements of mines. We are experts in this field and successfully design and implement these solutions on an ongoing basis.
