Our
Environment Philosophy of trying to achieve sustainable
balance between development and environment protection,
and to perform better than internationally accepted
good practices, makes us a well respected leader in
our community.
Dempos
have achieved ISO 14001 Certification for all phases
of its production processes.
Dempos
have ensured sustainable development by using state
of art techniques:
Strategically placed sedimentation
ponds to control peak surface run off and siltation.
A series of check dams and filter beds have
been built.
Infiltration and stability
tests on mining formations and reject dumps
to design dump parameters.
Plantation on degraded lands.
Resistivity
Survey of Ground Water and Geo-radar studies.
Thickeners
for wet processing plants to recover and re-use
80% of water.
We
have an Environmental Management System for the
identification and management of the impact caused
by the mining operations. We continuously survey
and monitor all environmental parameters to ensure
our commitments.
Plantations
