Productivity and profitability are your goals—but international competition, new processes, and stricter environmental regulations are making it harder to meet those goals. Barr integrates engineering and environmental expertise to help our clients build a prosperous and healthy future.

We have 40 years of experience solving a wide range of problems faced by the mining and mineral processing industry. Our specialty is helping you resolve issues that don't have off-the-shelf solutions. Because mining projects make up a lot of what we do, we start your project knowing a lot about your work. And because mining projects aren't the only thing we do, we start your project knowing a lot about what else influences your work.

The benefit of our wide experience is closely linked to the way we think about the details of your project. We won't waste your time and money pursuing innovation for its own sake, but we will look for little inventions that can make a big difference.
