Today at PANAMGEO Chile 2024 #KCB Senior Geotechnical Engineer Andy Small will deliver a keynote presentation on "What Could Tailings Facility Engineering Look Like in 2030?" In addition, Senior Geotechnical Engineer Juan Ayala will present his highlight paper, "Recent Research Advances in the Characterization of Contractive Tailings with the Cone Penetration Test Within the Critical State Soil Mechanics Framework." Check out both of these informative presentations! #PANAMGEO2024 #GeotechnicalEngineering #TailingsManagement #EngineeringInnovation #SustainableMining

At #KCB, putting “People first" is a core value we live by. We’re dedicated to building strong teams within our offices and making a positive impact in our communities. The United Way British Columbia's motto, “United, We Are Stronger,” reflects our shared commitment to compassion and demonstrates how small actions can create lasting change. For over 30 years, KCB has proudly partnered with United Way to raise funds to support vulnerable community members. In addition to a Canadian office-wide fundraiser this year, our Vancouver team organized a “Schools Out Supply” donation campaign, assembling 30 kits filled with essential school supplies like pens, crayons, paints, and construction paper—items that many children may not have access to. These kits were donated to the Kiwassa Neighbourhood House, located on the traditional, unceded, and occupied territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), S?l?ílw?ta?/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. Kiwassa Neighbourhood House fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment for the vibrant Hastings-Sunrise community in Vancouver. #CommunityImpact #PeopleFirst #UnitedWay #GivingBack

What an incredible four days at the 2024 Tailings and Mine Waste Conference! We’re wrapping up with a big thank you to the Conference Committee for putting together such a fantastic event.

#KCB welcomes our newest hire to the Lima office. Rosa Pilar Laura Carhuapoma is a Junior Environmental Specialist with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering from San Ignacio de Loyola University. She has enhanced her education with courses in Environmental Impact Studies in the Mining and Energy Sector, including Environmental Legislation and Supervision, and Impact Assessment at INTE of PUCP. With three years of experience in environmental consulting, Rosa has developed a variety of skills from preparing environmental impact studies for mining exploration projects, overseeing all stages from fieldwork and public participation to final approval. These include environmental data analysis, project management, and strong communication abilities, which have played a role in preparing Integrated Environmental Management (IGA) and Prior Communications for the mining sector. Rosa has effectively collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to develop environmental impact mitigation strategies, using tools like SPSS, Google Earth, and Excel to analyze data and present findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

#KCB has a full lineup of presenters at Tailings and Mine Waste 2024 today! Don’t miss these insightful sessions: •Andrew Witte, Senior Geotechnical Engineer: Plenary Session 2 – 2030 and Beyond: Perspectives on Evolving Tailings Management •Adrian Moreau, Water Resources Engineer: Technical Session 2.1B – Water Balance and Water Quality Predictions for the Cariboo Gold Project Filtered Tailings Facility •Benício Júnior, MBA, PMP, IPMA, Senior Civil Engineer: Technical Session 2.2C – How to Design a Tailings Dam Full Removal?
