Land, habitats, surrounding uses and rehabilitation inform asset development.
Rehabilitation and closure requirements are defined by the activity and site obligations.

Understand the baseline
Baseline information is assembled to understand site sensitivity before expanding work.
-
Progressive rehabilitation
Rehabilitation of completed areas is considered where plans and technical conditions allow.
-
Closure and monitoring
Stability, rehabilitation and monitoring objectives are translated into responsibilities and verification evidence.

- Early design. Closure, rehabilitation, cost and funding defined at project development.
- Rehabilitation in operation. Suitable soil preserved and safe areas progressively restored.
- Future uses. Renewable energy, industry, logistics, ecological or community uses evaluated.
