press release
Global professional services company, Turner & Townsend has been selected by Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) to monitor and analyse the cost and schedule to deliver a new water treatment plant as part of the Faro Mine Remediation Project.
The Faro Mine was once the largest lead-zinc open pit mine in the world until it closed in 1998. The Government of Canada is working to remediate the site, advancing critical works to stabilise and begin restoring the environment.
Turner & Townsend’s energy and natural resources team will support the Faro Mine Remediation Project by providing independent third-party cost and analysis services to ensure financial and schedule control during the delivery of the Faro Mine Water Treatment Plant.
The development of the new water treatment plant will not only protect human and environmental health and safety, but also support the project’s objective to create local employment opportunities.
“We look forward to supporting the Faro Mine Remediation Project with this large mine remediation, bringing our global experience to bear to help ensure this project is a success.
Mining of materials like zinc is an essential part of the global economy, but it’s also crucial that this is done in a sustainable way, and the long-term remediation of sites is at the heart of this.
Faro Mine reflects Turner & Townsend’s ongoing commitment to delivering on the world’s most impactful projects, creating a lasting positive impact on the environment and local communities.”
