Fit for the Future

Making our systems resilient and future proof

Our mining information database and systems play a vital role in supporting frontline services across Great Britain, helping to protect people, drinking water and the environment from the impacts of our mining legacy. We are evolving the technology behind these systems to ensure they remain resilient, future-proof and continue to help us make a better future for people and the environment in mining areas.

Deliver for Communities

Thorpe Hesley mine water treatment scheme in South Yorkshire

We maintain and operate over 80 mine water treatment schemes so that we can treat at least 232 billion litres of mine water to prevent pollution of drinking water, rivers and the sea. Our mine water treatment scheme at Thorpe Hesley will contribute to the protection of water resources which are able to supply the equivalent of more than 550,000 peoples domestic water usage.
