Until all times: responsibility for generations
The long-term tasks of Wismut GmbH require sustainable solutions that extend far beyond the present.
Challenges for the future
With the support of the German Federal Government, we rely on comprehensive material, human, and financial resources to successfully implement these projects. Competent specialists with interdisciplinary expertise in the natural sciences, mining, engineering, and information technology are essential to meeting the complex requirements.
Optimization of water treatment
Water treatment remains a central focus of our long-term work and requires ongoing adjustments. From analyzing geochemical conditions to forecasting long-term trends, we work to efficiently remove contaminants. With technological advances, we continuously improve processes and reduce costs without losing sight of our environmental goals.
Stability of technical barriers
The cover systems for dumps, tailings management facilities, and the Lichtenberg opencast mine must remain permanently stable. Erosion and aging are natural risks that we address with careful monitoring, maintenance, and repairs. Technical facilities that secure radioactive deposits are a particular focus.
Mine fields and residual cavities
Flooded mine fields continue to require mining expertise to ensure water drainage and air circulation. Long-term safety is guaranteed through continuous monitoring and maintenance, supported by precise documentation of all measures.
Long-term environmental monitoring
Monitoring programs ensure that environmental impacts can be continuously assessed. By using modern databases and intuitive tools, we ensure transparent and effective processing of environmental data – for a secure future.
Preserve and share knowledge
Remediation documentation bundles knowledge about complex objects and applied technologies in a structured format. These records not only facilitate knowledge transfer but also enable future generations to effectively manage the contaminated sites.
