Jason Harvey

Headshot of Jason Harvey

 

Jason has performed extensive work related to tailings management for mining clients in North America and internationally. His work has focused on in situ and advanced laboratory testing for the geotechnical characterization of mine tailings; analysis and design of tailings storage facilities; and performance monitoring and evaluations in support of ongoing tailings storage facility construction and operations. He has also performed dam safety reviews and contributed to independent third-party reviews of tailings storage facilities. In addition, Jason has performed geotechnical investigation, design, and construction services for seepage cutoff walls and remediation of hydroelectric dams.
