What Is Mine Capping?
Mine capping is a method used to safely close off abandoned mines to prevent environmental hazards and protect public safety. It involves sealing the entrance and covering the mine with soil, rock, or other materials to limit water infiltration and reduce the risk of collapse.
We offer professional mine capping services in Manitoba, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Using quality materials and proven methods, our team helps reduce long-term ecological impacts associated with old mine sites.
Why is Mine Capping Important?
Mine capping serves to safeguard the people and environment. Old mine shafts are a severe hazard to public safety as a site for illegal miners or a source of accidental falls. Such risks can be fatal and cause damage to the environment if not mitigated properly. The suitable method of mine shaft capping eliminates unauthorized access, reduces exposure to hazardous conditions, and prevents contamination of the surrounding ecosystem. Finally, mine capping is very important for the final stage of a mine closure. It will restore land for future safe use, whether for development or other usages.​​
