What defines independent quality assurance?

Independent quality assurance verifies that geosynthetic installations comply with project specifications and strict industry standards. This minimizes risk and provides confidence in regulatory compliance and long-term performance.

How do you help with approvals?

We review designs and conduct a detailed gap analysis to identify any compliance shortfalls.

Where required, we highlight areas needing equivalence to prescribed elements and define the performance criteria that must be met during the design or construction stages.

These additional steps help streamline approvals. When necessary, we work closely with regulatory authorities to achieve positive outcomes for project applications.

Which sectors do you specialize in?

We support projects across:

  • Mining
  • Waste management
  • Industrial facilities
  • Tailings and civil engineering

— delivering tailored geosynthetic solutions for complex conditions.

Why select a specialized consultant?

Specialized consultants offer:

  • Proven experience
  • Deep technical expertise
  • Cost-effective solutions
  • Strong industry relationships
  • Focused, project-specific support
