Mining Engineering

EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. (EBA) has an international reputation as a leader in the field of mine engineering and design and regulatory permitting, particularly in northern climates. We provide a range of services from the exploration phase through to construction, operation, and reclamation, offering practical solutions to engineering, environment and transportation challenges.

Engineering
EBA offers expertise in the fields of geotechnical engineering (including ground support), slope stability, mine design, and blast plans. We use current, proven technologies and analytical techniques to provide a range of design or remedial solutions that produce the best possible engineering advantage for our mining clients.
Environment
EBA understands the strict regulatory requirements related to mining exploration, development, operation, and closure and remediation. We have proven success in navigating our clients through the regulatory maze and achieving the necessary permits. Our services range from collection, analysis, and reporting of environmental data to preparing permit applications and environmental impact statements during the exploration phase, and developing environmental management systems during the operations phase.
Transportation 
EBA provides prime consulting and specialist services in all areas of transportation engineering. Areas of expertise include planning, design and construction of roads, airports, and marine facilities.
