Focused on developing sound strategies for supplying and managing water resources, INTERA supports our clients by reducing water-related uncertainties
INTERA offers resource companies expertise in identifying the appropriate water supply, designing the right de-watering controls for underground construction, and developing and implementing the best tools to evaluate potential impacts of a mineral project on groundwater and surface water resources. Whether it is designing and implementing a testing program capable of evaluating a wide range of hydraulic properties, models that must accurately estimate an impact to water quantity or quality, or strategies that garner stakeholder and regulatory agency support, INTERA delivers solutions that advance projects from planning to construction.

Some of our trusted clients:
The groundwater modelling work and general solute transport advice and support completed by INTERA for ERA over the past decade has been of the highest quality. The current groundwater model and general understanding of the groundwater environment at Ranger and surrounds is the best I have ever seen. In my opinion this would be close to the best groundwater model in the world but is by far the best groundwater model in Australian mining.”
