1. MINE REHABILITATION
• Post mining landform modelling incorporating the
following fundamentals - geomorphic principles,
erosion modelling, drainage integration with the
surrounding environment, floodline determination,
storm water management and drainage densities
• Detailed designs for construction
• Rehabilitation and mine plan integration
• Mass earth works optimization
• Volumetric modelling and analysis
• Predictive modelling of future mining areas –
greenfields and brownfields
• Rehabilitation liability quantification for mine sales
and due diligence
• Rehabilitation auditing and continual improvement
MINE CLOSURE
• Closure liability determination
• Closure planning
• Annual closure rate updates
WASTE MANAGEMENT AND CIVILS
• Conceptual, preliminary and detail design of waste
management facilities and other civil engineering
components. Include the design of new facilities
as well as upgrading of facilities such as landfills
and associated liners systems, capping systems,
transfer facilities, salvage yards, storage facilities
and impoundment facilities such as brine ponds and
leachate dams;
• Compilation of tender specifications, tender
documentation, handling of tender process and
tender evaluation;
• Site supervision, quality insurance and contract
administration;
• Licensing of waste management facilities;
• Feasibility investigations;
• Waste optimization studies;
• Evaluation and upgrading op waste collection and
waste logistical systems;
• Evaluation of waste management equipment for
required/suitable applications;
• Evaluation and feasibility of materials movement i.e.
piping vs. truck transport for sludges, etc.;
• Auditing of waste management facilities i.e. landfills,
transfer stations, coal discard dumps, garden
refuse sites, transfer systems, waste management
workshops, composting facilities, slag dumps, waste
management systems at industrial facilities etc.;
• Landfill Site Rehabilitation/Closure Calculations (for
annual budget purposes); and
• Compilation of Integrated Waste Management Plans
and Industry Waste Management Plans (IWMPs).

2. ANTHONY LAMB
MINE REHABILITATION AND CLOSURE
Anthony Lamb holds a BSc. Honours and has 17 years’ experience in mine rehabilitation
and closure. He gained operational experience at the start of his career, spending 7 years on
various opencast coal mines in the Mpumalanga Highveld looking after rehabilitation activities.
Anthony moved into the consulting industry from 2005 - 2012. He gained valuable modelling
experience in the field of post mining land form design and the optimization of mass earth works
required for large scale rehabilitation projects. He also compiled integrated rehabilitation plans, closure
plans and closure cost estimates for operations across the coal, platinum and diamond mining sectors.
He also completed various closure liability assessments within the power generation and steel processing
industries. Before helping to establish WRINK, Anthony spent three years as the business development lead in
the rehabilitation arena for a tailings construction company.
FRIKKIE SNYMAN
MINE REHABILITATION AND PROFILING
Frikkie Snyman holds a post graduate higher diploma in Mineral Resource Management and
Mine Planning. Before becoming involved with WRINK, he was actively involved as a consultant
at many of the mayor coal mines located in the Highveld region of South Africa. During these 9
years as consultant, he was mainly involved in the predictive mined out topographies and the post
mining landform design for open-cast coal mines, with more than 25 000 hectares of detail designs
for post mining rehabilitation designs under his belt.
His extensive knowledge of post mining landforms gave him the ability to assist several mayor mining groups
like Glencore, BECSA (South32) and Exxaro to optimise their Life-of-Mine plans towards closure, mitigating high
closure costs towards material movement and the double handling thereof. Along with this he has done numerous
integrated material placement strategies, material volumetric analysis and detail design audits for contractor sign-off.
Frikkie is also a lecturer at the Centre for Environmental Management at the University of North-West in Potchefstroom,
where he annually lectures on the topic of Basic Principles of Ecological Rehabilitation and Mine Closure.
ELIAS BARNARD
INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT AND CIVIL ENGINEERING
Elias Barnard has a National Diploma and B-Tech degree in Civil Engineering and is
registered as a Professional Civil Technologist. He started his career at the Transvaal Provincial
Administration as a Civil Technician working at the provincial Roads Laboratory.
He joined KV3 Engineers’ Waste management division where he became an Associate and project
leader on numerous waste related projects. In 2003 he joined TFM Industries, a waste equipment
manufacturing company, as a technical advisor to clients on waste collection and composting systems
and equipment. He joined Golder Associates Africa’s waste division in 2006 and headed up the Waste
Engineering group before he started EBC in 2012.
He specializes in all aspects of waste management but has a particular interest in transportation, waste logistics,
as well as in the planning of waste collection and processing systems. Elias has a well-developed understanding
of optimizing and costing solid waste management systems and was also responsible for the permitting/licensing,
investigation, design and development of over 20 new general and hazardous landfill sites / waste handling facilities,
transfer station, garden waste facilities as well as the for closure and rehabilitation of numerous waste management facilities.
He has also been responsible for the upgrading and rehabilitation of numerous existing landfill sites and facilities.
Elias has drafted a number of Integrated/Industry Waste Management Plans and guideline documents for District and Local
Municipalities as well as industries. Has also been involved in, and project leader on a number of Municipal Services Partnership
investigations for the provision of waste management services to Local Municipalities. This led to intimate involvement with the
implementation of feasible projects. He has extensive background in waste collection equipment and composting equipment. Elias
has worked throughout South Africa and in Zambia, Swaziland and Kenya on various waste related projects.
