Mining Engineering Services

Esmer & Associates has designed hundreds of coal refuse facilities for some of the world's largest
and most modern coal preparation plants. Our firm has also designed one hundred and thirty
coal refuse impoundments --no engineering firm in the country can boast a number like that.
Even though we are always conservative in our estimations and calculations, our firm has
brought some of the most dangerous and unstable refuse facilities into compliance with
governmental regulations in an economic and timely manner.

We also provide permitting services for deep and surface mines. We have engineered movement
and deposition of billions of tons of this overburden.

A good exploration program is essential in determining the mineral wealth of a property. Core
drilling must be incorporated with additional geological information.
Esmer & Associates is
equipped to provide such information utilizing the techniques of aerial photography , geophysical
exploration, infra-red photography, use of available data form nearby properties and physical
and chemical properties of overburden.
