Ron is a hydrogeologist with a specific focus in providing pragmatic water management solutions incorporating applied principles of hydrogeology, geology and engineering. His extensive experience relates to projects involving small to large scale water supply development from groundwater resources, mine dewatering and excess water disposal, regional hydrogeological investigations and overall mine groundwater management, licensing, and compliance reporting. Ron has worked as a consultant, inhouse mine water manager and studies leader within Government. In his current role at Sovereign Hydroseal, Ron is focussed on showing that there is an innovative and cost-effective way to control groundwater inflows to open pits and below ground infrastructure. There is a viable way to install inground barriers using proven technology that helps control and reduce the groundwater inflows. The barriers are site specific using existing, well proven inert polymer and geopolymer materials. Think "keyhole surgery with geological glue".
