Restoration of quarries and extractive activities

An extractive operation is authorised on the strength of what it promises to restore. We write the restoration programme with a realistically calculated financial guarantee and a sequence that can be delivered while the operation continues.

What's included

• Restoration programme integrated with the working plan and extraction phases.
• Landform and landscape integration design for slopes and platforms.
• Earthworks balance, topsoil management and revegetation criteria.
• Calculation of the restoration guarantee and periodic updates.
• Environmental documentation for the permit and for substantial modifications.
• Annual monitoring reports and support with the restoration sign-off.

When you need it

• You are applying for or extending an extraction permit.
• You have been asked to update the restoration programme or the guarantee.
• You want to restore in phases and release guarantee before closure.
• You are ceasing operations and the restoration file has to be closed.

How we work

We calculate the guarantee using real construction prices and defend the calculation before the authorities. Restoring in phases usually costs less than restoring at the end: where possible, that is how we plan it.
