Decommissioning

Decommissioning reflects an important life cycle phase in any project or operational facility. Careful planning and preparation are required to suitably manage environmental risks and liabilities and to restore sites to reinstate the natural environment.

Restoration is also increasingly important in the context of ESG and sustainability performance as we look to manage and restore our natural capital.

Overview

SLR deploys highly skilled teams of engineers and technical specialists to design, manage and monitor closure programmes. Our expertise spans mine closure, industrial and waste facilities, land remediation, landform and biodiversity restoration, and stakeholder management.
