Leach Pads

WE BRING LEACH PADS ONLINE ON TIME

Ames has built and maintained leach pads for some of the largest mines in the world, performing massive earthwork spanning hundreds of acres, installing liners and piping, constructing ponds, building haul roads, and producing aggregates.

Leach pads are critical to mining operations, and we work to get them online as quickly as possible. By self-performing the majority of all of our mining infrastructure projects, we ensure that the work is done safely, on time and on budget.
