Science-Based Landform Design for Successful Rehabilitation
By integrating field measurements, laboratory testing and advanced computer modelling, we design stable, sustainable post-mining landscapes that meet regulatory requirements and support long-term environmental outcomes.
Successful rehabilitation begins with understanding how a landform will perform over the long term.
Landloch assesses growth media and mined waste properties, including plant growth potential, soil water storage capacity, geochemical risk and erosion potential. This information is used within recognised water-solute balance, erosion and landform evolution models to predict long-term landform performance under site-specific conditions.
Our designs are tailored to minimise erosion risk, optimise topsoil use and support sustainable vegetation communities that integrate with the surrounding landscape.
Landloch’s rehabilitation landform designs have been successfully applied across mining operations throughout Australia and internationally.
Our published research demonstrates that Landloch’s approach produces erosionally stable landforms that meet regulatory expectations while integrating visually and functionally with surrounding catchments.
Our experience supports a range of rehabilitation and regulatory requirements, including:
Landloch combines field investigations, laboratory testing and advanced modelling to develop rehabilitation landforms that are both scientifically robust and practical to construct.
By understanding how water, soils, vegetation and landforms interact over time, we help clients reduce long-term environmental risks while delivering sustainable rehabilitation outcomes.
Whether you’re planning mine closure, designing rehabilitation landforms or developing long-term rehabilitation strategies, Landloch provides the scientific expertise and practical solutions needed to deliver stable, sustainable landscapes.
