method according to previous mine regulations.
Access to many of these remote sites
is limited to aircraft, boat or by ice road only,
which makes transporting materials for
a concrete bulkhead exceedingly expensive
or impractical. By nature of their remoteness,
alternative mine closures are needed.
SRC’s Environmental Remediation team
has been working with local contractors
and consulting engineers to design and
build proper mine closures for these remote
locations. While regulators have since
accepted alternative closures other than reinforced
concrete, there’s no one-size-fitsall
solution.
Depending on the type of opening and
the site conditions there are several methods
SRC’s remediation experts have used
at the Satellite Sites. In addition to meeting
regulations, the right closure method must
also be competitive in cost and service life,
easy to transport and install, secure from
unauthorized access and able to withstand
forest fires.
Stainless steel caps
Stainless steel caps satisfy the above criteria
and have a long lifetime (hundreds of
years), which make them ideal permanent
closures for most vertical openings.
For horizontal openings, such as adits
and portals, stainless steel grates are used
as a functional equivalent with the added
benefit of allowing water to discharge from
the mine, Box preserving 640 Kipling,the closure’s SK, S0G integrity
