DESIGN • DEVELOP • PRODUCE

Mining development & earthworks.

Mine development requires civil construction that can adapt to changing ground conditions, production priorities and operating schedules. Site access, excavation, haul roads, working pads, berms and drainage systems must be delivered without losing sight of the mine’s broader operational requirements.

Mine sites involve multiple, interconnected civil construction activities. Clearing affects access. Excavation affects material availability. Haul roads influence production flow. Drainage affects nearly every part of the site.

Sutherland Heavy Civil provides integrated mining development and earthworks service for new, expanding and operating mines.

Our teams coordinate heavy equipment, transportation, materials, logistics and field execution to deliver complex civil scopes across Canada and the northwestern United States. From initial site clearing and bulk excavation to ongoing road maintenance and reclamation, we plan and execute work around active mining schedules.
